Swindon 3-0 Hereford

Simon Cox scored twice as Swindon eased their relegation fears with a win over Hereford, who sink to the bottom of League One with a fifth straight loss.

Cox headed Swindon into a 29th-minute lead after Hereford were caught cold by a short corner routine.

And he made it two when he flicked in Owain Tudor Jones's cross, allowed by referee Stuart Attwell despite three players looking offside for Swindon.

Billy Paynter wrapped up the win when he tapped in a simple chance.
