Swindon 3 Yeovil 1 

Coca-Cola League One

RESULT: Swindon Town 3 Yeovil Town 1

Swindon scorers: Paynter 13, Austin 22, Ward 46 
Yeovil scorer: Tomlin 27

 
Swindon head to Fulham on Saturday with confidence sky high after a convincing win.

 

But if an FA Cup upset is to happen, Town will have to do it without their star striker Charlie Austin, who today bagged his seventh in seven games - but is unavailable for the 3rd round clash at Craven Cottage.

 

"It's dreadfully unfortunate for the lad [Austin] that he's cup-tied because he's on brilliant form and he'll be missed," commented manager Danny Wilson.

 

Christmas cracker

 

Austin scored the second after Billy Paynter had given Town the lead largely against the run of play.

 

Yeovil eventually on target just before the half-hour when Gavin Tomlin slotted home only for Danny Ward to fire Swindon's third with a superb strike just seconds after the re-start.

 

Anything you can do..... : Danny Ward is grabbed by Charlie Austin after scoring Town's third

 

Town rise one place to sixth.
