Stockport County continue their unbeaten streak with a remarkable away win over Swindon. 

The game was end-to-end from the beginning, with both hosts and visitors having a number of attempts. Ultimately, however, it was Swindon who scored first, when Dan Kemp's strike took a deflection from Southam-Hales and found its way past Hinchliffe into the net. 

County remained behind as the second half began, but were offered the chance to equalise in the 50th minute, as a penalty was awarded for a foul on Southam-Hales. Will Collar converted from the spot to make it 1-1. 

10 minutes later, however, Swindon reassumed the lead, as Jake Young hit home a close-range strike, assisted by Saidou Khan. 

County, however, remained undeterred. The Hatters fired back a response, as Ibou Touray lifted a perfect cross onto the head of Kyle Wootton, who converted with style and composure: 2-2 in the 69th minute. 

Barely four minutes later, some creative play from the Hatters fed the ball to Odin Bailey, who curled home an unbelievable goal from the edge of the box, to make it 3-2. 

The game was buried in the 89th minute, as Callum Camps slotted the ball into the bottom corner of the net from close range. 

In his post-match interview, manager Dave Challinor commented on Swindon's attacking style, and how it was important to punish a team which was so aggressive: "We had a feeling there would be goals", he said. "Thankfully, we've scored more than them today. Still, [...] we didn't allow ourselves to get the full control.

"From my eyes, there were little bits of panic [from County]. Sometimes, we can be safe, and that ball forward becomes too much of an outball. It should be about picking your moments.

Nonetheless, the gaffer praised the team for turning up: "Brilliant character - determination to keep this run going, and a brilliant three points."
