Swansea's Jason Price heads over the Oldham goal
Swansea City were sent back down to Division Three by Oldham, who clinched a 2-1 away victory courtesy of two goals in 10 minutes from striker Sam Parkin.

Midfielder Stuart Roberts had fired the Swans into the lead with a bizarre goal in the 20th minute after Oldham goalkeeper David Miskelly had made a terrible hash of a back-pass by Barry Prenderville.

The Swans deserved their interval advantage but the visitors equalised in the 53rd minute when Parkin ran on to a ball played through the middle by Neil Adams and rounded home goalkeeper Jason Jones before side-footing it into the net.

In the 63rd minute, Parkin struck again. Matthew Tipton pulled the ball back from close to the byline for him to drive it into the roof of the net from just inside the six-yard box.


Swansea City: Jason Jones, Price, Howard, Bound, Todd, Coates, Phillips, Jenkins, Roberts, Verschave, Boyd.
Subs: Cusack, Appleby, De-Vulgt, Mumford, Fabiano.

Oldham Athletic: Miskelly, McNiven, Garnett, Duxbury, Rickers, Tipton, Parkin, Salt, Prenderville, Adams, Carss.
Subs: Kelly, Sheridan, Allott, Hotte, Futcher.

Referee: P Armstrong (Thatcham).
