Owain Tudur Jones's deflected free-kick deep in stoppage time earned Swindon a draw at fellow strugglers Carlisle.

Hal Robson-Kanu was brought down by David Raven and Tudur Jones saw his curled set-piece deflect off the same defender and go past Ben Williams.

Carlisle had led from the eighth minute when Michael Bridges slotted in from 15 yards after Swindon failed to clear.

The draw leaves keeps both sides out of the relegation zone, but still firmly in the battle against the drop.
