Burton Albion 1-0 Swindon Town

Substitute Lucas Akins scored a late penalty to beat Swindon and ensure Burton Albion ended 2015 in the League One automatic promotion places.

Mark Duffy, Nasser El Khayati and Stuart Beavon were all denied by Swindon keeper Lawrence Vigouroux.

At the other end, Jon McLaughlin produced a stunning save to keep out Jonathan Obika's point-blank volley.

Akins scored from the spot after Jordan Turnbull had tripped Beavon as Burton end the year in second place.

Burton Albion manager Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby:

"It was an excellent win. Very hard fought over the course of the game.

"John McLaughlin made a couple of magnificent saves, but over the course of the game we created enough chances to win two or three games.

"You can approach the game that little bit differently. That was the idea, a quick start. We did that in the first 10 minutes but didn't get the goal."
