| The red mist falls at Molineux - after Lee Collins is sent off for a disgraceful challenge, Wolves striker Steve Bull is also red carded for his over zealous reaction - but when Swindon go down to nine men as Chris Casper is harshly shown his marching orders, the Wolves take full advantage, scoring twice late on to win 3-1 - the final goal a superb lob from Paul Simpson. |
