The boy done well: goalscorer Morrison is congratulated by Lee Peacock and Billy Paynter

A sublime finish by Swindon 17-year-old Sean Morrison set Town up for their second home win in a week this afternoon.

 

A goal that couldn't have come at a better time after Oldham had dominated the game early on and should have been ahead.

 

But spirited defending by captain Hasnee Aljofree and some excellent covering work by Peacock and Pook in midfield kept the visitors at bay.

 

And after sneaking the opener - then doubling their lead from the spot eight minutes later, Swindon never looked troubled.

 

"We showed huge commitment to keeping our first clean sheet out there," a delighted Maurice Malpas commented, "and we deserved it."

 

Town rise to 15th after the win.
