Southampton   0 - 1   Swindon

Southampton 0-1 Swindon

Southampton 0-1 Swindon

Swindon kept their promotion hopes on track after a hard fought win over in-form Southampton.

Robins keeper Phil Smith made several spectacular saves in the first half as the Saints dominated proceedings.

Swindon began the second half with far more intent and deservedly went ahead 10 minutes after the restart.

Charlie Austin coolly rounded Saints keeper Kelvin Davis and Swindon held on to win despite midfielder Simon Ferry being sent off for two bookings.


Southampton boss Alan Pardew told BBC Radio Solent:
"I thought Swindon had a good game plan to try and stop us. They defended deep and defended with numbers.

"We didn't really get a break. The game changed at the start of the second half, when we got a bit sloppy and gifted them a goal. We got a bit anxious and lacked a bit of quality, which isn't like us.

"It was a really frustrating evening, but mathematically it's still possible (to reach the playoffs). We'll just try and win the next game."

Swindon boss Danny Wilson told BBC Wiltshire:
"To come to here with the kind of form that Southampton find themselves in and win is a monster, monster result for us.

"There were pockets of football that were fantastic at times and the three guys in midfield really got on the ball.

"Anything we got out of this game we had to work damned hard for and by hell we did that."
