9:43pm Tuesday 28th August 2012 in Sport By Andy Warren

SWINDON Town and Stoke City’s Capital One Cup clash has gone into extra time after the two sides drew 2-2 after 90 minutes.

A James Collins brace had given Town a 2-0 half-time lead, but Kenwyne Jones and Jon Walters scored after the break to level things up for the Premier League team.

Town have performed superbly throughout as the pace of Andy Williams caused the home defence problems, and they have been more than a match for their Premier League hosts over the 90 minutes.
