City Throw Away A Win

Last updated : 24 October 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City threw away a win by conceding two late goals in a 2-2 draw at Swindon Town.

Tony Mowbray made two changes to the side that had drawn at Rochdale on a very wet afternoon in Wiltshire.

City were the more attack minded in the opening thirty minutes but too often they lost the ball in midfield, allowing Swindon the odd shot at Reice Charles-Cook.

Joe Cole did have a shot cleared off the line in the 44th minute but for the fifth game in a row, there were no goals for City in the first half.

There was no Cole for the second half which saw City take the lead in the 65th minute when Romain Vincelot finished off a Chris Stokes cross.

In the 79th minute, Jacob Murphy was brought down for a penalty. Marcus Tudgay stepped up. The keeper went the right way but Tudgay banged the loose ball into the net. 

With five minutes plus stoppage time left, Ben Gladwin pulled a goal back when he was allowed space on the right to shoot.

This set up a grandstand finish and in the 92nd minute, Swindon were awarded a penalty which Nicky Ajose scored for a share of the points.
