- Published
Oldham boosted their hopes of League One survival by beating Swindon.
The hosts, the better side throughout, took an early lead when Liam Kelly headed home Jonathan Forte's cross, and Curtis Main nodded in at the back post late on at Boundary Park.
Oldham goalkeeper Joel Coleman kept out a rare Swindon effort from Louis Thompson effort in the first half.
The Latics remain in the relegation zone, one point behind 20th-placed Blackpool with two games in hand.
Oldham manager John Sheridan told BBC Radio Manchester:
"I thought we fully deserved the result. The most important thing is getting the three points.
"It was a tricky game tonight, Swindon are a good passing side and they can really hurt you.
"I wouldn't like to play against us at the moment. The stamina in the team is excellent and we fully deserved the result and another clean sheet.
"I'm really pleased for Curtis Main. He deserved the goal, it was a great finish."
