Swindon 3-0 Scunthorpe: Josh Davison stars in comfortable Robins win
Saturday 12 February 2022 19:29, UK
Josh Davison scored twice as stuttering Swindon finally shook off the cobwebs to dispatch struggling Scunthorpe 3-0.
Harry McKirdy grabbed the breakthrough goal in the 58th minute as he raced onto Ellis Iandolo's gorgeous diagonal ball down the right.
The forward then drove into the box and tucked through Rory Watson's legs for his 13th of the season to reignite Town's League Two promotion charge.
A freak deflection 12 minutes later saw Joe Tomlinson's effort hit team-mate Davison and loop over the stranded Watson for the second goal.
Manny Onariase's lunge at Louis Barry handed Town a penalty which Davison fired home with five minutes left.
With one win in seven before this Town made heavy weather of the first half.
After the break Jojo Woolacott had to save from the feet of United's Sam Burns after his poor clearance set up a United attack.
But Davison had the last word to push Scunthorpe further into relegation trouble.
