Fletcher Holman scored twice in the second half to secure a 2-0 victory for Swindon Town over Newport County, propelling the Robins into second place in Sky Bet League Two.

Swindon dominated the encounter, with Junior Hoilett creating the opening moments of the match. In the 63rd minute, Fletcher Holman, making his second-half debut, received a cross from Hoilett and coolly finished into the far corner, giving Swindon the lead. Three minutes later, Holman's precise cross was headed into his own net by Joe Thomas, extending Swindon's advantage. Swindon's fourth consecutive win came despite Newport's efforts, with Connor Ripley making a crucial late save to preserve the result.

This victory is a significant boost for Swindon, moving them above rivals like Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City, though they remain behind leaders Carlisle United. The win demonstrates the impact of tactical changes and the quality of substitutes like Holman, who has already scored twice in his brief Swindon career. The Robins now look to maintain this momentum in their remaining fixtures to challenge for a higher playoff position.
