Match report: Tigers stun Swans with Lloyd's post-siren winner
May 14, 2016 11:44 PM
RICHMOND has secured the drought-breaking win it needed in extraordinary circumstances, with Sam Lloyd kicking the match-winning goal from 50m to pinch a remarkable one-point win against the Sydney Swans.
Lloyd marked just inside 50 with seconds remaining and kicked after the siren, falling to his knees as the ball sailed through to seal the 14.17 (101) to 15.19 (100) win at the MCG on Saturday night.
The final quarter produced some of the most thrilling football of the season as the Tigers threw out the conservative style they'd played for three quarters and put their foot to the floor.
They emerged from three-quarter time to kick five unanswered goals before the momentum swung the visitors' way.
The Swans had appeared destined for their seventh win of the year as they trapped the ball deep in their forward line with less than a minute to play, but the Tigers launched one final challenge and were rewarded.
