Michael Smith's 10th league goal of the season helped Swindon to a comfortable victory over Walsall.

Swindon took an early lead when Smith converted Nathan Byrne's cross before Tom Bradshaw capitalised on a loose ball to level for the Saddlers.

Massimo Luongo fired home at the near post to put the Robins ahead shortly after half-time.

Smith then set-up Andy Williams for a third Swindon goal before the same pair combined to seal victory.

Swindon, who have now won five of their last six matches in League One, remain third, a point behind leaders Bristol City, while Walsall, who had been unbeaten in their previous seven league games, drop to 15th.

"It's a brilliant result. It wasn't our most scintillating of games but sometimes that happens. We scored early, probably a little bit too early.

"I thought they played really well in the first half and caused us more problems than a lot of teams.

"I had a few choice words at half-time because I didn't feel we were competing.

"They went out second half and I thought they were exceptional. It was a great start to the second half for us."
