Brentford 2 Swindon 1Npower League One
RESULT: Brentford 2 Swindon Town 1
Brentford scorers: Saunders 72 (pen), Donaldson 76
Swindon scorer: Ferry 32
Two second-half goals inside four minutes goals inflicted the first defeat on Kevin MacDonald.
It's now won one, drawn one and lost one for the new Town boss after three games in charge. Crucially, though, the win lifts Brentford into third above Swindon in the race for automatic promotion. Town are now five points behind the leaders Sheffield United and only two points above seventh place Bournemouth. Swindon had looked good for the points after Simon Ferry's low shot gave Town a deserved lead on the half-hour.
They continued to largely dominate the game until for the second successive match, gave away a penalty when ahead during a crucial passage of play.
Four minutes after Sam Saunders converted from the spot, Clayton Donaldson netted the winner.
