Swindon had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Fleetwood but the point still took them top of League Two.

Ian Holloway’s visitors were good value for their 31st-minute lead courtesy of defender Ryan Tafazolli’s first goal for the club.

The ex-Wycombe stalwart headed in Darren Oldaker’s cross.

Apart from Connor Ripley’s second-minute save from Mark Helm, Swindon dominated but were denied before and after their breakthrough by goalkeeper Jay Lynch.
