Brighton and Hove Albion Swindon Town
S.Gatting (11'), F.Digby (13' o.g.), J.Byrne (39')
HT: 3-1 A.McLoughlin (5', 77'), S.White (81')
Attendance:  7,940   Referee:  P. Foakes



 
After taking an early lead through Alan McLoughlin, Swindon find themselves 3-1 down at the break - a howler from Fraser Digby and a bizarre refereeing decision gifting the Seagulls two of their three goals. McLoughlin gets one back with thirteen minutes to go - four minutes later, Steve White hits another to rescue a point for the Town.
