Swindon 1-1 Carlisle

Carlisle captain Paul Thirlwell spared team-mate Peter Murphy's blushes by equalising his own goal to secure a draw against Swindon.

Murphy lashed an Anthony McNamee cross into his own net while under no pressure in the 50th minute.

With two minutes left Thirlwell fired home a 20-yard effort into the bottom right-hand corner.

Swindon's Billy Paynter had a chance to win the game but he put his shot wide of the left-hand post in stoppage time.
