Two-nil up at half time, the Town appear to be coasting to victory - but a double substitution at the break seems to turn things around for Ipswich - David Lowe getting one back within two minutes of the restart, then Mark Brennan equalising just past the hour with a controversial twice taken free-kick. With fifteen minutes remaining though, Phil King reinstates Swindon's lead, Dave Bamber wrapping things up with four minutes left on the clock.
