Swindon Town

Swindon Town secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Newport County in a League Two encounter that saw the hosts capitalize on their second-half substitutions to break the deadlock. Fletcher Holman, introduced at halftime, made an immediate impact by finding the net just 17 minutes after his introduction, giving Swindon the breakthrough they needed after a goalless first period. The victory was sealed three minutes later when Newport's Joe Thomas inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, compounding a frustrating evening for the visitors. With both managers making extensive use of their benches - nine substitutions across the 90 minutes - this result will give Swindon momentum in their League Two campaign while leaving Newport to regroup after failing to trouble the scoresheet.
