Gavin Gunning earned a win in his first game as Swindon interim manager as the Robins defeated Bradford 2-0 at the County Ground.
After 16 minutes, Paul Glatzel was hauled down in the area, and Swindon was given a penalty. Charlie Austin took the opportunity to score his third goal in as many games with conviction.
Brad Halliday’s cross into Andy Cook in the middle gave Bradford a chance to draw even late in the first half, but Cook’s header was not strong enough to past Jack Bycroft, who sprinted down to make the save.
Swindon doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time as Glatzel ran through down the right and got away from his marker before giving Dawson Devoy a tap-in at the far post.
After the break, Austin won a header from a free-kick at the near post and flicked the ball into the path of Glatzel, but he could not quite stretch enough to send the ball into the empty net.
