Posted Sunday, March 31, 2019 by PA

Ten-man Bury saw their 14-match unbeaten run ended by improving Swindon, who triumphed 3-1 at Gigg Lane.

Kaiyne Woolery scored two, made one and hit the post for Swindon, who boosted their own play-off hopes.

Swindon struck first in the 25th minute. A weak header back to the keeper by Callum McFadzean was pounced upon by Woolery, who smashed clinically past Joe Murphy.

As Bury looked to hit back quickly Adam Thompson headed Nicky Adams’ corner against the crossbar, before an equaliser did follow three minutes after the opener.

Jay O’Shea sprinted down the left before crossing for Nicky Maynard, who tapped home his 20th goal of the season from barely a yard out.

In the 54th minute, O’Shea saw his superbly struck free-kick thump the crossbar and at the other end Woolery then made it 2-1 to Swindon, battling his way past Scott Wharton and Thompson before scoring from 15 yards.

The impressive Woolery slammed a low drive against a post in the 66th minute as Swindon threatened to cut loose.

Bury’s Danny Mayor saw red soon after when he reacted to Canice Carroll’s challenge with a wild push on the midfielder.

Theo Robinson tapped home Woolery’s cross three minutes from time.
