Striker Ronan Murray netted the first goal of his loan spell at Swindon to help the Robins to beat Southend 2-1 at Roots Hall and see them into the southern area final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy where they will meet Barnet.

Murray, who is with the Wiltshire club for a month, came on as a sub on 80 and netted the winner with a header two minutes later.

Robins boss Paolo Di Canio was pleased with the 20-year-old’s brief performance: “He arrived in the box at a good moment and did well. He attacked the space in the right way and got his reward with the goal. He came on and did well.”
