    Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Swindon and Walsall.

    Walsall manager Jon Whitney hailed his team's performance after a dominant display saw them beat Swindon 2-0 at the County Ground.

    A brace from Erhun Oztumer ensured victory for the in-form Saddlers as they picked up a fourth win from their last five matches.

    Whitney said: "I thought it was a Walsall FC show today. I thought tactically, technically, physically and psychologically we were the better team.

    "We executed a game plan to near enough perfection and that's what is important for me.

    "It was great for Oztumer to get his two goals and I think had he got another one it would have been one of the best hat-tricks you'll see.

    "It was good pressing for the first one to give him the opportunity and the second one was an unbelievable finish.

    "The pleasing thing for me was the lads stuck to the game plan and carried out everything tactically that I asked of them.

    "Technically Swindon are a very good team but I still felt we controlled the game for 90 minutes."

    Swindon's Darnell Furlong gave the ball away to Oztumer in the 17th minute and from 40 yards out he magnificently sailed the ball over helpless goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux.

    Oztumer then exquisitely volleyed in from a long ball over the top to secure the points for his side in the 51st minute.

    Swindon manager Luke Williams was at a loss to explain why his side were beaten.

    "I need to find out what it is this group needs because we play with all of the ball and have chance after chance and don't win," he said.

    "Maybe after the first goal, psychologically we felt less energy and feel defeated which is a mental weakness which is harder to see. But we have to get to the bottom of the problem.

    "Of course the first goal is fantastic, he hits the ball very, very quickly. He pounced on a loose pass.

    "The second goal is one pass which he doesn't bring down, he doesn't take a touch, it is an incredibly difficult technique.

    "We didn't respond to the first goal, we responded even more poorly to the second goal.

    "It is hard to know what the group needs."
