Nicky Ajose helped Swindon Town beat Scunthorpe United and register their first win since September.
Raphael Branco opened the scoring for the home side as he turned Jon Okiba's deflected effort past the keeper.
Ben Gladwin's cross found Ajose, who slid the ball beyond Joe Anyon to extend Swindon's lead midway through the second half.
Jordan Clarke's header gave Scunthorpe some hope, but Swindon held on for their first victory in 12 games.
Scunthorpe United manager Mark Robins told BBC Radio Humberside:
"It wasn't good enough. We've been good for the last five or six weeks and you're going to get a blip at some point.
"The conditions were difficult, but having said that we had enough of the ball to cause them problems.
"I just felt we were a little bit off it, a little bit lacklustre in front of goal and I don't think there was enough intent in the final third.
"It took their goal in the second half to kick us up the backside and spur us into some sort of action."
