The Swindon Town players celebrate their second goal in front of their travelling fans.
Brian Howard (8) moves to receive the ball from Jack Compton.
Luke Rodgers (10) and Lee Williamson (7) stand over a free kick in front of the Fratton End.
The enigmatic Paulo Di Canio, Swindon Town's manager, salutes the travelling fans after the match.
Di Canio heads off back to the changing rooms. He is a man of many gestures! Throughout most of the match he was standing in the technical area either watching play or turned towards his staff on the bench making a comment or gesitulating. It was amazing to watch the man in action.
