Dobbie stars as Swansea seal final berth

STEPHEN DOBBIE scored one and set up another as Swansea survived a late Nottingham Forest fightback to book their place in the npower Championship play-off final at Wembley.

The midfielder, who helped shoot down the Reds at the same stage 12 months ago while on loan at Blackpool, was the man sacrificed after just four minutes of a goalless first leg at the City Ground last Thursday following Neil Taylor’s dismissal.

But he proved worth his weight in gold — or at least the estimated £90million (€103m) windfall for the team promoted to the Barclays Premier League on May 30 — in an open and electrifying encounter at a sold-out Liberty Stadium.
