Brave Scotland rescues flailing Swans

A LATE kick-off at Liberty Stadium yesterday saw Coca-Cola League One leaders Swansea held to a 2-2 draw by Bristol Rovers.

Rickie Lambert had put Rovers ahead in the 14th minute with a 18-yard strike and Craig Disley doubled the advantage in the 36th minute. But Roberto Martinez’s side refused to throw in the towel and striker Jason Scotland pulled a goal back in the 50th minute.

The Trinidad and Tobago international grabbed his second in the 84th minute and almost won the game in the second minute of injury time but saw his shot saved by Steve Phillips.
