Louis Thompson netted a last-minute winner to keep Swindon's hopes of a League One play-off place alive with victory over Sheffield United.
The Robins took the lead when Miles Storey ran on to a Ben Gladwin pass and fired into the top corner.
The visitors equalised through Michael Doyle as he met a Kieron Freeman cross to slot home from close range.
But Thompson converted Nathan Byrne's centre to give the home side a dramatic late win.
Swindon have now won their last three and are a point behind Peterborough who occupy the last play-off spot, while the Blades stay 10th.
Swindon manager Mark Cooper told BBC Wiltshire:
"It was fantastic to see the scene - a local boy to get the winning goal.
"In the second half we were under the cosh and came under a lot pressure. We didn't secure the ball up front, the ball kept coming back and it's very difficult to get out.
"The way they dug it out was very pleasing. I thought we totally dominated the first half."
