There's been a robbery! Swindon Town steal a point despite incoherent performance at Cambridge

Ronnie Biggs, Dick Turpin, Jesse James, DB Cooper, The Hatton Garden Six; you ain't got nothing on that.

Swindon Town's Thursday-night burglary at the Abbey Stadium leaves the automatic promotion chat window still open, but the Robins are becoming little more than a whisper.

It is important to enjoy 90th-minute equalisers, especially in games of consequence, and the 1,000-plus Town fans who made the trip to Cambridge United without a train back certainly made the most of the moment.
