Swindon 3 Leeds 0 

Coca-Cola League One

RESULT: Swindon Town 3 Leeds United 0

Town scorers: Austin 13, Paynter (2) 60, 63 (pen)

Town faced their toughest test of the season so far tonight - and came through with flying colours.

 

A second-half brace from Billy Paynter - after Charlie Austin's eighth in eight had given them a half-time lead - humbled a Leeds side still on the crest of an FA Cup wave. 

 

Goal machine: Austin makes it 1-0

 

The League One leaders a poor shadow of the side that beat Man United earlier this month and dramatically drew at Spurs on Saturday - in stark contrast to Town who richly deserved the victory.

 

Current Swindon and ex-Leeds midfielder Jonathan Douglas rubbing salt into the wounds by being named 'Man of the Match'.

 

Town rise to 5th.
