Andy Williams scored one goal and made another as Bristol Rovers secured a convincing win over Swindon.
Williams ran onto Pat Baldwin's through-ball to coolly slot Rovers ahead in the 10th minute.
Two minutes later he turned provider, firing over a low cross which Jeff Hughes was on hand to turn in.
Jo Kuffour added the third goal on 34 minutes, shooting into the roof of the net from Stuart Campbell's quickly taken free-kick.
Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope told BBC Radio Bristol:
"Andy (Williams) has waited patiently and worked very hard to work his way back in the plans. I was pleased with his contribution in general and he deserved his goal and his applause when he came off.
"Our back four dealt with most of the things Swindon threw at us and it was a pleasing clean sheet."
"We've still got a lot of areas to work on and that includes a new body or two in the squad."
