Swansea v Cobblers LIVE

Key Events

  • Cobblers head across the border for Carabao Cup
  • Jon Brady set to make wholesale changes for first round tie
  • Swansea boss Michael Duff also planning to rotate his squad

Teams have gone back down the tunnel and we’re almost ready for kick-off. Fair to say it’s not quite a sell-out tonight.

Here come the two teams...

Sweetpstake on how much stoppage-time we’ll get tonight after a mammoth 22 minutes at the weekend? I’ll go with a modest 12.

2’

Swansea almost have an early opener. Monthe loses possession and Swansea work the ball to Ollie Cooper whose shot dribbles narrowly wide of the far post. Let-off.

6’

One or two boos from the away fans as Matt Grimes comes over to take a corner. Cobblers get it away. Hosts have made a good start.

10’ GOAL! 1-0 Swansea.

It’s been coming since kick-off. Cobblers carved open and it’s an easy tap-in for Piroe after good work by Cooper.

14’

Chance for Cobblers to level. Terrible error by Rushworth, who kicks the ball straight to Bowie, but the Town forward drags his shot wide of the far post.

19’

Cobblers a bit more in the game now but they look vulrenable between centre-back and wing-back down both channels. Swansea finding space too easily at times.
