Swindon Town 1-1 Northampton Town

Matt Taylor's free-kick rescued a point for Swindon as they came from behind against Northampton at the County Ground.

The home side should have broken the deadlock after just seven minutes when James Dunne had his close-range shot saved by David Cornell.

Swindon came close to taking the lead again as clever link-up play eventually saw Cornell deny Marc Richards with another save.

Northampton had to wait until the 22nd minute before their first real opportunity fell to Sam Hoskins, who broke free before seeing his shot parried against the post.

The visitors came alive after the break and almost went ahead through Andy Williams, only for Swindon's Taylor to deny him a chance from six yards out.

However, they didn't have to wait long for their goal which came in the 58th minute when John-Joe O'Toole volleyed in from a Hoskins cross.

But Swindon responded in emphatic fashion, Taylor curling his free-kick into the top corner from 25 yards out.
