Swindon beat Rochdale to make winning return to League One
Posted Sunday, September 13, 2020 by PA
Tyler Smith, Anthony Grant and Matt Smith all scored their first league goals for Swindon, who made a winning return to League One with a 3-1 victory over Rochdale.
Sheffield United loanee Tyler Smith made it 1-0 after just four minutes by lashing home from inside the box after a Jack Payne corner deflected into his path.
Diallang Jaiyesimi’s cross from the left was nodded in by Grant at the back post for 2-0 in the 33rd minute.
The third goal came about via some excellent pressing, as Matt Smith latched on to a loose ball by Rochdale goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu and slotted in from the edge of the box.
Rochdale were outclassed but did manage to score a late consolation in second-half stoppage time.
Jimmy Keohane netted from close range after a low cross from the right to take some of the gloss off Swindon’s victory, but the points still went the hosts’ way.
