Swansea City 0 Oldham Athletic 0 - BBC

Swansea drew a blank for the first time at the New Stadium as Oldham battled to a deserved draw.

On the day the Swans unveiled a statue to club legend Ivor Allchurch there was a sad lack of inspiration, neither team really threatening the decisive goal.

Swans boss Kenny Jackett, watching from the stand due to a touch-line ban, put on Adrian Forbes and Andy Robinson.

A Roberto Martinez free kick went close and Izzy Iriekpen headed over, but the game was destined to end score-less.


Swansea: Gueret, Ricketts, Austin, Tate, Iriekpen, Martinez (Robinson 72), Britton, Goodfellow (Forbes 45), Bean, Akinfenwa, Trundle. Subs Not Used: Murphy, O'Leary, MacDonald.

Booked: Forbes.

Oldham: Day, Forbes, Scott, Hall, Branston, Wellens, Warne, Hughes, Eyres, Liddell, Beckett (Porter 78). Subs Not Used: Killen, Tierney, Taylor, Smith.

Booked: Scott, Eyres.

Att: 14,029
