Swindon Town caretaker manager Dave Byrne told BBC Radio Wiltshire:

"You can never, ever question their commitment after watching that game. I knew that they would go to the final whistle.

"I was a bit gob-smacked to be 2-0 down but you can see why Leicester are at the top.

"If you look at the chances, we have created more than Leicester but, from 2-0 down with 10 minutes to go, to draw 2-2, I am happy."
