#PLHistory #PremierLeagueStories #PL on 18 September 1993 – Swindon Town 2 – Newcastle United 2 – Crazy Five Minutes secured Swindon’s First points at home #NUFC #SwindonTownFC

Martin Ling and Andy Mutch both scored in an astonishing five-minute spell to earn Swindon their first home premiership point in a remarkable comeback against Newcastle United.

Ling’s short-range shot, and Mutch’s far-post header, made up for a crazy eight minutes at the end of the first half in which Swindon gave away two goals and missed a penalty. Lee Clark put Newcastle ahead with a stunning shot from an acute angle.

Then Bodin drove a penalty against goalkeeper Tommy Wright’s legs after John Moncur had been fouled. Within four minutes Bodin conceded a spot-kick, desperately tripping Paul Bracewell, and seeing Malcolm Allen convert.
