Aaron Drinan's double sealed a comeback win for Swindon over Harrogate that puts the Wiltshire team top of the League Two table on goal difference.

The Robins rode their early luck in the opening minute when defender Filozofe Mabete had to clear off the line from Lewis Cass' header, while Warren Burrell went close from the resulting corner.

A deflected effort from Harrogate's Reece Smith struck the post before Jack Muldoon grabbed the 30th-minute opener from a rebound after Connor Ripley saved his earlier effort.

Tom Wilson-Brown nearly equalised but a great save from James Belshaw denied the Swindon defender, only for Ollie Clarke to level a minute before the break with a looping header from Joe Snowdon's cross.

After the restart, Paul Glatzel's near-post header from a corner went into the side-netting but the Robins went ahead in the 71st minute after Drinan nodded home from close range in a cramped box.

Ellis Taylor went close to an equaliser for Harrogate with a dipping free-kick before Drinan grabbed his sixth goal of the season, sealing the win with a cool finish from the edge of the box after latching on to Clarke's through ball.
