Sheffield United saw their play-off hopes dented in a cruel defeat at Swindon Town.

Swindon won the game 2-1 thanks to a goal in the final minutes just moments after Conor Coady had seen his header fantastically saved at the other end by Wes Foderingham.

Louis Thompson scored the winner for Swindon after a swift break from the Foderingham save.

Swindon had led at half time, Miles Storey giving the home side the lead. Foderingham was in fine form for Swindon all afternoon and he produced a stunning first half save to deny John Brayford.

The blades equalised in the second half when Michael Doyle was on hand to score at the far post but their hearts were to be broken with the late winner.
