Swindon thumped West Country rivals Cheltenham to reignite their League One play-off hopes.
The home side were gifted the lead when Alex Russell and Gavin Caines gave the ball away, giving Simon Cox the chance to slot home from close range.
Billy Paynter made it 2-0 when he converted Anthony McNamee's cross.
And Christian Roberts came off the bench to seal Swindon's win, beating two defenders before driving home into the bottom corner of the net.
