A straight red card for Tommy Rowe at the end of the first half left Rovers with an uphhill task against the EFL’s joint-highest scoring team but they were good value for a share of the spoils.
Here’s how we rated the players after an excellent shift earned them a first clean sheet of the season.

7. James Maxwell - 7
Another player who performed well and limited Swindon to very little. Unlucky to be subbed off. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
8. Tommy Rowe - 5
Looked to have picked up where he left off against Everton and was really threatening in an advanced role. Dismissed for a high tackle on the stroke of half time, however, and looked like he knew he'd let his teammates down. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
