Leicester City Swindon Town
P.Reid (56', 69')
HT: 0-0 A.McLoughlin (64')
Attendance:  8,547    



 
After a goalless first half, Leicester take the lead through Paul Reid - but Alan McLoughlin gets the Town back on level terms just eight minutes later. The joy is short-lived though -another superb effort from Reid shortly afterwards gives the Foxes the points.
