Swindon 0-0 Oldham: Goalless at the County Ground
Saturday 29 September 2018 20:18, UK
Matt Taylor was sent off late on as Swindon and Oldham fought out a drab 0-0 draw at the County Ground.
Former Premier League player Taylor was shown a straight red card in stoppage time for tripping Christopher Missilou when he was about to race through on goal.
Swindon came closest to opening the scoring early on when Elijah Adebayo fired wide.
Home goalkeeper Luke McCormick had to be on his mettle in the 14th minute to save Dan Gardner's 25-yard free-kick.
Oldham striker Chris O'Grady also saw an effort deflected wide in a first half of few clear-cut chances.
Rob Hunt should have put the Latics in front after a poor punch from McCormick but could not hit the target.
McCormick also saved well from Ishmael Miller in the second half while Gardner put another free-kick wide.
Taylor then put a 25-yard effort into the side-netting before seeing red for a professional foul.
