Mark Helm's second-half equaliser handed Fleetwood a 1-1 draw at promotion-chasing Swindon to help keep their own faint play-off hopes alive.

The visitors began stronger, with Matty Virtue being slipped into the box to get a shot off but Connor Ripley got down well.

Swindon did nothing of note until seconds before the break when they produced the opener. Michael Olakigbe blew past his man and slung in a deep cross for Aaron Drinan, who headed against the bar before Billy Bodin smacked the rebound into the roof of the net from point-blank range.

Will Davies got the ball in a dangerous position for Fleetwood but hammered just over the bar.

However, Helm levelled in the 57th minute when he gathered the ball on the left, drove into the box and calmly slotted into the far corner, leaving the Swindon defence flat-footed.

Fleetwood winger Ethan Ennis then tried his luck from a tight angle and saw his effort pushed around the post by Ripley.

The Swindon keeper then pulled off a stunning save with his legs to deny James Norwood, who looked certain to score with the Robins in disarray.
