Jon Obika's goal was enough to give Yeovil victory as the Glovers edged closer to safety in League One.

Swindon should have had a reward for their bright start but Hal Robson-Kanu had his shot well saved by Chris Weale.

The home side scored what proved to be the winner after 33 minutes when Paul Warne slipped a delicate pass to Obika, who lobbed goalkeeper Phil Smith.

Weale later saved well from Swindon's top scorer Simon Cox to ensure that Yeovil picked up all three points.
