Swindon Town 4 Southend 2: How Twitter Reacted

Saturday saw a simply crazy game of football unfold at the County Ground. Beneath grey skies and monsoon rain showers, Swindon Town slipped two goals behind to visitors Southend, before pulling out one of the finest comebacks in recent seasons.

Braces from Jon Obika and Nicky Ajose were enough to completely turn the tie on its head and enable the Robins to leave the field as 4-2 victors, in what was Luke Williams first game in charge as stand-in manager following the departure of Martin Ling.

Opinion during and after the game was rife. Total Sport took a look at some of your very best responses, via the social media platform Twitter...

Utterly bonkers game. Terrible first 30 mins, the some sublime finishes from Ajose & Obika. #stfc
