Cheltenham Town 5 : 0 Swindon - Robins rocked by Harrison's treble

Byron Harrison struck a hat-trick to ease Cheltenham into the second round of the FA Cup courtesy of a stunning 5-0 thrashing against League One Swindon.

Harrison scored the first, third and fifth goals, but the visitors were not helped by having defender Nathan Thompson sent off 21 minutes in.

The Swindon skipper was deemed to be the last man when he tripped Tony Gornell as the Cheltenham striker headed towards goal.

By that point, the home side had already opened their tally, Harrison punishing some chronic defending to tap home from close-range after 10 minutes.

Gornell doubled the lead nine minutes before the interval with another close-range effort after Steve Elliott had headed a corner back across goal.

It was Harrison who made it 3-0 just after the break, steering the ball past goalkeeper Wes Foderingham from three yards following a good run and cross from Craig Braham-Barrett,

Swindon's best effort of the game came when Nathan Byrne's powerful 15-yard drive hit the upright.

But the home side wrapped things up with two goals in the final 18 minutes. Matt Richards fired in a blistering 20-yard effort before Harrison completed his hat-trick six minutes from time after more sloppy defending.
