Early goal was game plan - Di Canio

Swindon Town manager Paolo Di Canio told BBC Wiltshire:

"The start was good from us. We dominated, they didn't have one shot on target. We fully deserved it.

"We came in professionally and did our job properly. The players were very good, they did a fantastic job.

"There were 11 leaders on the field. The back four were fantastic, they didn't make any mistakes."
