A Brad Maylett strike 12 minutes from time rescued a point for Swansea in a 1-1 draw with Rochdale to keep their slender play-off hopes alive.<\/p>\n

Brian Flynn’s men found themselves a goal down when midfielder Leo Bertos put Rochdale ahead after 26 minutes.<\/p>\n

But substitute Maylett pounced on 78 minutes when the visitors failed to clear their lines and maintained the Swans’ four-game unbeaten run.<\/p>\n

The hosts began the brighter but it was Steve Parkin’s men who opened the scoring with their first shot on goal, Bertos smashing a low left-footed drive past goalkeeper Murphy.<\/p>\n

And the visitors could have extended their lead only to find Murphy equal to efforts from Sean McClare and Kevin Townson.<\/p>\n

The hosts upped the tempo after the restart but were left frustrated as Andy Robinson and Stuart Roberts squandered chances while Danny Lindsey cleared a Mark Pritchard effort off the line. But Rochdale’s hard work was undone as Maylett fired home to keep the Swans in touch with the leading pack.<\/p>\n

It maintained Swansea’s four-game unbeaten run, but they would have expected to beat struggling Rochdale. <\/p>\n
