Lincoln City 2-2 Swindon Town
- Published
Lincoln dropped two valuable home points in their League One title bid after only drawing 2-2 with relegation-threatened Swindon.
It needed Morgan Rogers' superb second-half strike to rescue the Imps a point after goals from Jordan Garrick and Brett Pitman, either side of Jorge Grant's penalty, had given the Robins a half-time lead.
Swindon's first attack produced a goal after 80 seconds. Dominic Thompson burst down the left flank, just keeping the ball in to deliver a cross that Scott Twine left for Garrick to slam first time past Alex Palmer.
Lincoln were awarded a 26th-minute penalty after Swindon skipper Dion Conroy felled Brennan Johnson in the area. Up stepped Grant to fire home the spot-kick to restore parity.
Pitman dinked a shot over Palmer that bounced against the bar, but after Rogers brought a diving save out of Jojo Wollacott, Pitman restored Swindon's lead.
Cohen Bramall raced back to thwart a Robins attack, but after passing back to Palmer, the City stopper dithered on the ball allowing Pitman to nick it off his toe to squeeze home a shot that went in off the far post.
Pitman chanced his arm from fully 40 yards straight after the kick-off, with Palmer fumbling his shot behind.
Just before the hour mark, a piece of Rogers magic brought City level, the loanee racing into space before crashing home a low 25-yard shot that fizzed past Wollacott and into the net.
Palmer regained some kudos by diving to his left keep out Twine's free-kick as the visitors threatened to nick a winner.
