Swindon Progress After Teamsheet Error Sees Unlisted Sub Used in EFL Trophy Tie

The EFL is expected to review the electronic submission mix-up that halted play for about eight minutes.

Overview

  • Swindon beat Luton 2-1 at Kenilworth Road to reach the EFL Trophy quarter-finals, with the result currently standing.
  • Aaron Drinan came on despite not being on the official teamsheet, which had defender Ryan Tafazolli listed instead.
  • Officials paused play for around eight minutes in the second half when the issue was raised, and Drinan remained on the field.
  • Ian Holloway said he offered to substitute Drinan back off and argued match staff did not ask him to verify the new electronic teamsheet.
  • Luton head coach Jack Wilshere said he would leave the matter to the EFL, as media copies had named Drinan even though the official list did not.
