Carlisle 0 Swindon 1 

Coca-Cola League One

 

RESULT: Carlisle United 0 Swindon Town 1

 

Town scorer: Austin 3

 

Charlie Austin grabbed his first in a Town shirt to keep Swindon nicely placed in League One - with a game in hand.

The former non-League hitman combined with strike partner Billy Paynter to slot home the winner as early as the third minute. 

 

And despite the blustery conditions, Swindon couldn't be blown off course after weathering a spirited second-half response from the home side.

 

"We were very solid today in what were tricky conditions," commented Danny Wilson, "and I'm delighted for Charlie.

 

"He showed he was a threat from the opening whistle and he set up the win for us."
