Match Report

TTA report

Another fine game by Johnston who took 2 of only 3 chances that came his way. O'Hara was close to opening the scoring early on before Johnston scored from close in after the keeper had dropped a corner (12). Swansea equalised from an acute angle (62) but Johnston finished off a fine display with a late winner.
