Sheffield Wednesday Swindon Town
M.Bright (8'), G.Watson (69', 71')
HT: 1-2 A.Mutch (7'), C.Maskell (20', 90')
Attendance:  30,570   Referee:  P. Don



 
The season of goodwill doesn't extend to Hillsborough - after the Town twice take the lead through Andy Mutch and then Craig Maskell, Wednesday striker Gordon Watson leaves Town keeper Fraser Digby injured before playing on to equalise with twenty minutes remaining, and then goes on to net a minute later past Digby's replacement, Nicky Hammond. Swindon secure a deserved draw in the last minute though, through a superb Maskell diving header.
