Swindon move seven points clear at top of League Two

Swindon eased past promotion rivals Torquay 2-0 at the County Ground to move seven points clear at the top of League Two and set themselves up nicely for their Johnstone's Paint Trophy final against Chesterfield at Wembley this weekend. Robins boss Paolo Di Canio, said: "What we did proved that the lads are a very professional group. I'm here to achieve something important and change the mentality that normally you can have - especially at this level when you go to the top and relax and start to think about Wembley.

"This is normal, it's human. But I'm here to change it. I spoke to them in a normal way and now I know I have a group of fantastic professionals. And the answer that they've given to me is the right answer because they deserve to perform this way.

"They want to maintain our position. And if we play like this, there is no opponent that can beat us because we are the best. We've proved that once again thanks to the lads. They are fantastic professionals and a fantastic group, and I'm very happy because of the amazing performance."
