Swindon 2 Brighton 1 

Coca-Cola League One

RESULT: Swindon Town 2 Brighton & Hove Albion 1

Town scorers: Paynter (pen) 31, Austin 54
Brighton scorer: Forster 34

 

Danny Wilson paid tribute to his strikeforce duo of Paynter and Austin as the pair fired Town back into the top six.

 

Paynter first on the scoresheet after the striker was brought down in the box and then converted the penalty on 31 minutes.

 

Austin then grabbing the winner after Brighton had fought back to equalise just before half-time - and largely dominate for long periods.

 

"It was the move of the game," said Wilson, as he described Austin's header on the hour mark.

 

"Both he and Billy [Paynter] are building a very good understanding and the goals are coming."
