        Mohamed Eisa at the double as Cheltenham down Swindon

        Jake Andrews' stunning free-kick and a brace from Mohamed Eisa condemned Matt Taylor to a losing start as Swindon interim manager, as Cheltenham beat the play-off hopefuls 3-0 at the County Ground.Luke Norris squandered a good chance for the hosts early on when he had time to bring down Taylor's corner and fire a shot towards goal, which was blocked by Andrews.Cheltenham grew into the game, and felt they should have had a penalty when Kevin Dawson fell after a heavy challenge by Taylor, but their protests were waved away by referee Tom Nield.The visitors then went ahead when Andrews' free-kick flew over the wall and past keeper Stuart Moore into the top left corner.Cheltenham doubled their lead four minutes into the second half through top scorer Mohamed Eisa, who ran onto Taylor Moore's long ball and poked a shot past Moore.The Swindon keeper made a good save to deny Gary Johnson's men a third, and Marc Richards saw a tame effort saved by Scott Flinders down the other end.Cheltenham made the result safe with 20 minutes to play as substitute Oluwasanmi Odelusi ran the length of the field with the ball before squaring it to Eisa, and the striker clinically fired home for his 20th goal of the season.

          Accrington up to third after beating 10-man Swindon

          Accrington moved up to third spot in Sky Bet League Two as Billy Kee and Kayden Jackson grabbed the goals in a 2-1 win over 10-man Swindon.Kee celebrated his 19th league goal of the season from the penalty spot while Jackson fired home in the second half to make it six wins in seven games for Stanley.New signing Marc Richards got one back for Swindon but Kellan Gordon saw red after 75 minutes to make it an unhappy night for Dave Flitcroft's men.Stanley took the lead after 25 minutes when Matty Taylor brought down Sean McConville in the penalty area.Striker Kee tucked the ball into the bottom left corner, sending Reice Charles-Cook the wrong way.Stanley doubled their advantage from a swift counter-attack in the 62nd minute when Jackson raced free, sliding home his 11th of the season.Swindon gave themselves hope after 72 minutes when Richards fired home from the penalty spot after Janoi Donacien brought down substitute Paul Mullin in the area.But it was an uphill battle when, three minutes later, another Swindon replacement Gordon saw red for violent conduct after a fracas with Stanley's McConville.

            Ten-man Swindon denied at the death by Lincoln

            Michael Bostwick salvaged a point for Lincoln deep into stoppage time in a thrilling 2-2 draw with 10-man Swindon at Sincil Bank.The visitors, who had come from behind themselves to lead at the break, were left heartbroken as the Imps finally broke through.Despite all Swindon's early dominance it was Lincoln who went in front against the run of play in the 23rd minute.A brilliant through ball from Harry Anderson gave Matt Green a clear run on goal, but he was brought down by Matt Preston who was duly given his marching orders by referee Antony Goggins.Lee Frecklington smashed the resulting penalty straight down the middle and it was too powerful for goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook.Lincoln failed to capitalise on the one-man advantage, though, and the visitors were soon deservedly level.Keeper Paul Farman could only parry Ollie Banks' speculative 30-yard drive and Marc Richards reacted quickest to tap home the equaliser in the 35th minute.Three minutes later the game had turned on its head as Banks capitalised on some slack defending to stab home from 20 yards.Lincoln were to have the final say, however, as Bostwick pounced at the death.

              Swindon hit back to beat Crewe in thriller

              Braces from debutant Marc Richards and substitute Timi Elsnik inspired Swindon to come from behind to beat 10-man Crewe 4-3 in a spectacular match at the County Ground.Swindon initially went ahead when Ellis Iandolo's low cross fell to Richards in the box and the former Northampton striker cooly fired home from 12 yards.Crewe equalised when the hosts failed to clear their lines and Callum Ainley hit a low volley across goal into the far corner.The visitors then took the lead before half-time when Ainley glanced Charlie Kirk's pinpoint cross into the bottom right corner for his fifth goal of the season.David Artell's men extended their advantage early in the second half when Reice Charles-Cook parried Jordan Bowery's initial shot and Ryan Wintle ran in to tap the ball into the net from close range.Swindon had a lifeline with 25 minutes to go when Elsnik curled a shot into the top left corner from the edge of the box, before the Derby loanee equalised with a composed low shot into the bottom left corner. The visitors were reduced to 10 men after Zoumana Bakayogo received a second yellow card and with just minutes remaining Matt Taylor's low cross was poked home by Richards at the front post to win it for the home side.

                Marc McNulty at the double as Coventry see off Swindon

                Coventry extended their unbeaten home run to seven games by beating Swindon 3-1. Swindon have been a force to be reckoned with away from home all season, but a Marc McNulty double and a goal from Maxime Biamou ended the Robins' three-match winning run.Ollie Banks' 39th-minute goal was nothing but a mere consolation for David Flitcroft's outfit. Biamou opened the scoring with a great finish as he lashed the ball into the top corner after 17 minutes. Five minutes later it was 2-0 after Matt Preston hauled down McNulty. And it was McNulty who duly stepped up to beat Reice Charles-Cook from the penalty spot.Banks, playing in only his second game for the club, then pulled one back for the visitors. Banks met Ellis Iandolo's sublime cross and kept his composure to slot home. But McNulty put the game to bed with his 13th goal of the season with nine minutes left as he fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

                  Luke Norris edges Swindon to derby victory

                  Luke Norris' 12th goal of the season was enough for Swindon to edge a 1-0 Sky Bet League Two win over Forest Green at the County Ground.The striker tucked home with 11 minutes to go and the Robins sit just outside the play-of places on goal difference.David Flitcroft's side had a great chance to open the scoring when Kaiyne Woolery cut inside from the left flank and laid the ball back to Keshi Anderson, but his effort was palmed away by Brad Collins.Forest Green lost Farrend Rawson to a serious injury midway through the first half, with the defender stretchered off after clashing with Ellis Iandolo.Anderson was again denied by Collins just before half time, with the goalkeeper diving to his right to turn behind the midfielder's curling shot.The visitors started the second half the brighter of the two teams, with Christian Doidge's low strike forcing Reice Charles-Cook into a save.The home side then went ahead after Anderson's shot was parried by Collins and after a goalmouth scramble Norris was on hand to tap the ball into the net.
