Swindon Town | Queens Park Rangers | ||
M.Walters (45' pen, 90'), I.Onuora (80') |
HT: 1-1 | M.Sheron (10') |
|
Attendance: 8,500 | Referee: M. Dean |
|
Town boss Jimmy Quinn is confident that the Town will not go down, as they prepare to travel to Queens Park Rangers. |
|
Things look bleak for the Town when, after Mike Sheron gives QPR an early lead, Scott Leitch and George Ndah injure each other in a crunching tackle, forcing boss Steve McMahon into two first half substitutions. On the stroke of half time, Mark Walters levels from the penalty spot though, and when Rangers are reduced to ten men when Paul Murray is sent off following an altercation with Darren Bullock, Iffy Onuora and Walters again net late goals for Swindon to seal what seemed an unlikely victory. |
