Swindon Town 2-2 Coventry City

  • Published

Swindon Town scored twice in the final five minutes to earn a point against high-flying Coventry City, but still remain second bottom in League One.

Coventry took the lead when home goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux misjudged an aerial ball, leaving Romain Vincelot with a simple finish at the far post.

Adam El-Abd dragged down Jacob Murphy and Marcus Tudgay prodded home the rebound after his penalty was saved.

Ben Gladwin fired home before Nicky Ajose levelled from the penalty spot.

Tony Mowbray's Sky Blues remain fourth - six points off top spot.

Swindon's two goals were the first conceded by City keeper Reice Charles-Cook since making his league debut on 3 October.

Except for the penalty shoot-out in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Yeovil, the Sky Blues had not conceded a goal in their five previous matches.

Having gone 535 minutes without conceding a goal, Charles-Cook was within a game of beating the club record held by Sky Blues legend Steve Ogrizovic, now the club's goalkeeping coach.

Sky Blues boss Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:

"At 2-0 up, and with less than 10 minutes to go, it should be finished. We'll have to use it as a lesson on how to see things out.

"We're all hugely disappointed. To draw the game feels like a defeat, of course, but we'll try to take the positives out of it. We'd worked really hard for 83 minutes, and I felt we'd done enough."
