Aaron Drinan's second-half brace helped promotion-chasing Swindon beat Barrow to end a run of three successive defeats.

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 then nodded over the bar from Michael Olakigbe's inviting cross.

After the break, Palmer expertly slipped Drinan in, but Barrow 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 his 16th league goal of the season after Stanway could not hold Fletcher Holman's shot.
