RESULT: Swindon Town 3 Notts County 0
Swindon scorers: Swift 58, Williams 64 (pen), Toffolo 89
Town survived some first-half pressure to record a vital win and move back up to third.
After an embarrassing home defeat at home on Tuesday night, Mark Cooper knew the importance of picking up points as Swindon continue to chase the top two automatic promotion places.
So when Chelsea on-loan teenager Jon Swift superbly fired home from 20 yards out just after the break, you could feel the tension lift in the County Ground.
The lead was then doubled by Andy Williams from the spot after the striker himself was impeded by former Man United keeper Roy Carroll.
And after the visitors were reduced to ten men with the dismissal of Liam Noble, Harry Toffolo got just reward for another good performance with the third to seal victory.
"We were worthy winners," Cooper commented.
