Rushian Hepburn-Murphy's double ended Swindon's five-match winless run in a 3-1 victory over Tranmere.
Following an opening 20 minutes desperately low on quality, Sean McGurk added some. He got the ball in the box, sold the defender with a dummy and then fired a shot beyond Luke McGee.
Tranmere did not need long to respond as a block fell to Rob Apter on the edge of the area and he drilled an effort first time into the bottom corner.
Swindon took their lead back as Udoka Godwin-Malife threaded a pass through the defence from inside his own half and Hepburn-Murphy rounded the goalkeeper to tuck home.
Hepburn-Murphy really had the beating of his full-back and again raced beyond him to get on the end of a pass and flashed a shot narrowly beyond the far post.
The 25-year-old had his second after the break when he galloped beyond the defence and a fine ball through and tucked his shot away.
