MK Dons 1 Swindon Town 2
MK Dons 1 Swindon Town 2
Town striker Simon Cox converted a last-gasp
penalty to end Town’s three-game losing streak with a win at MK
Dons this afternoon.
Cox sent goalkeeper Willy Gueret the wrong
way from the spot in the 90th minute after Craig Easton
had been hauled down in the box by Peter
Leven.
Billy Paynter had earlier put Town in
front with a neat side-footed finish in the 53rd minute after
Simon Cox robbed former Town defender Sean O’Hanlon to cross
the ball invitingly across the face of goal.
Dons replied in the 65th minute when
Jude Stirling capitalised on poor Town defending at a corner
but Maurice Malpas side were fully deserving of their win after
a disciplined performance that frustrated the MK Dons for long
periods of the game.
