Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper has hailed his players as "outstanding" after they overturned a two-goal deficit to draw 3-3 with Walsall in League One.

The Robins boss admitted that his side started the match poorly, but was quick to praise their efforts in the second period after watching them stage a comeback.

"I enjoyed the game. The first 50 minutes were not very good and I had to change it and try and get a bit of impetus and a bit of intensity and a bit of desire into the play," PA quotes him as saying.

"I thought the last 30 minutes was outstanding. I had to make it a little bit end to end to try and get back into the game. We could have probably nicked it, and so could they, but I thought it was a real good game in the second half."

The result all but ends Swindon's hopes of automatic promotion, leaving them in fourth place in the table.
