Walsall were looking to make it three wins in as many games as they made their way to Wiltshire and took on Michael Flynn's undefeated Swindon Town at the County Ground.
Walsall started the game in terrible fashion as the well-travelled Charlie Austin bagged the opening goal of the game with just two minutes on the clock as he headed the ball beyond Owen Evans and into the back of the net.
The home side went on to double their lead two-minutes before full-time as Rushian Hepburn-Murphy capitalised upon some sloppy play between Liam Gordon and Owen Evans to poke the ball home to secure the points for the Robins.
