Scunthorpe 3-3 Swindon

Simon Cox
Cox's hat-trick was his second treble of the season

Simon Cox's second hat-trick of the season helped Swindon come from behind twice and restrict League One leaders Scunthorpe to a share of the points.

Cox's angled drive opened the scoring before Grant McCann's free-kick put the home side level.

Goalkeeper Phil Smith kept Swindon in the game with a string of saves before Martyn Woolford fired Scunthorpe ahead.

Cox broke the offside trap for 2-2 but Krystian Pearce's header made it 3-2, only for a Cox penalty to seal a point.
