Aaron Drinan’s brace gets Swindon back to winning ways against Barrow

Aaron Drinan’s second-half brace got stuttering Swindon back to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Barrow.

The promotion-chasing Robins had lost three league games on the trot before this one.

And Barrow went ahead after just 10 minutes when Danny Rose gobbled up a rebound from virtually on the goal-line after Charlie Raglan hit a post from a corner.

But Ollie Palmer restored parity 10 minutes later with a confident side-foot volley at the back post straight from Will Wright’s corner.

Drinan nodded over the bar from Michael Olakigbe’s inviting cross.

After the break Palmer expertly slipped Drinan in but keeper Wyll Stanway batted away the shot.

Drinan burst into the box from the left and teed up Palmer whose flick was cleared off the line by Raglan.

Then Drinan drove down the same flank but this time the Irishman cut into the box and took the shot himself, curling into the far corner from a tight angle to put Swindon ahead in the 77th minute.

And 10 minutes later the division’s top scorer jabbed home after Stanway could not hold Fletcher Holman’s shot.
