Swindon 3-1 Colchester
Saturday 5 September 2026 18:50, UK
Aaron Drinan hit a hat-trick to inspire Swindon to a 3-1 comeback win over Colchester.
The visitors looked to be cruising after Kylian Kouassi's early goal.
Moses Sesay spotted the burly striker's run and slipped him in to hammer a shot into the roof of the net just 13 minutes into his full debut.

The visitors were on top but failed to make their dominance pay as Oscar Thorn fired low at Connor Ripley and Jack Payne blasted over the bar.
Town were level four minutes after the break when Jay Williams brought down Anthony Munda and Drinan turned home the rebound after Thimothee Lo-Tutala parried his penalty.
Substitute Joseph Hungbo then went close for Swindon with two curling shots which went inches wide before testing the keeper with a delightful chip while on the run which had Lo-Tutala scrambling to tip over.
Hungbo was again at the heart of things for Swindon's second goal as he found Mitch Clark in the box before the ball broke to Drinan to thump home in the 77th minute.
Two minutes later Jack Thompson fed Drinan, who calmly tucked his finish between the keeper's legs to seal his treble and the win.
