Crawley boss Steve Evans believes his side can still knock League One Swindon out of the FA Cup despite facing a second-round replay.

The sides drew 1-1 at the Broadfield Stadium in front of a crowd of 3,895 and will replay on Wednesday, December 8.

Swindon took the lead after 66 minutes when Charlie Austin pounced from close range after Reds failed to clear a corner.

But the home side deservedly levelled nine minutes later when Matt Tubbs scored his 17th goal of the season with a precise right-foot finish after Sergio Torres' pass split the Swindon defence.

The visitors had the better of a cagey first half with midfielder Matt Phillips unlucky to see his 22nd-minute drive hit the post, rebound off the back of keeper Michel Kuipers and onto the woodwork again before Kuipers grabbed the ball.

Reds were better in the second half. Ex-Crawley keeper Phil Smith made a great save to deny Tubbs and after the equaliser Smith denied his former club again with a brave block from Dannie Bulman.

Evans said: "I thought we were unfortunate not to win. We showed them too much respect in the first half and they got their goal when we were having our best spell.

"But we bounced back and this is a cup tie we still fancy ourselves to win.”
