    Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Swindon and Crawley

    Swindon joined Notts County at the top of Sky Bet League Tw after Ollie Palmer’s penalty gave them a 1-0 win over Crawley in a nervy contest.

    The visitors edged the first half. Centre-back Josh Flint was allowed time to roam forward with the ball and tried his luck from 20 yards but Connor Ripley got down well to the low shot.

    Harry Forster should have scored from inside the six-yard box but jabbed well over after Dion Pereira wriggled through defenders down the right and put in a perfect cross.

    Ref Leigh Doughty awarded a penalty after ruling that Finley Munroe had fouled Pereira, but then changed his mind after consulting with the linesman.

    But he stuck to his decision after Munroe was pulled down by Pereira, and Palmer converted the penalty in the 53rd minute.

    Palmer was then sent through on goal, but when he chopped back to tee up his right foot, the chance was snuffed out by a recovering defender.

    A great save by Harvey Davies denied Paul Glatzel from Munroe's low cross.

    Ripley then did well at the other end to parry Ade Adeyemo's fierce half-volley as Swindon held on.
