Joel Porter and Simon Cox both scored hat-tricks as Hartlepool came back from 3-0 down to draw with Swindon.
Cox gave Swindon a fifth-minute lead from the edge of the area, before his 25-yard shot was fumbled by Arran Lee-Barrett to make it 2-0 at half-time.
Cox grabbed a third after cutting in from the right, but Porter then bundled Andy Monkhouse's shot over the line.
Porter fired in a low free-kick from long range, and chipped in a superb third in the final minute of the game.
