The first half saw plenty of good entertaining midfield football without either side creating much in front of goal, but the second half was an entirely different story.[LNB]In the 49th minute Swindon's Alan Sheehan was brought down inside the box by Stephen Purches and Billy Paynter stepped up to beat Jamie Jones from the penalty spot.[LNB]Austin - who was playing non league football just two months ago - was only inches wide with a shot before Orient equalised when Gordon Greer's heavy challenge was penalised and Sean Thornton hit a 30-yard free-kick which deceived David Lucas in the Swindon goal.[LNB]In the 75th minute Austin restored Swindon's lead when he deflected Simon Ferry's shot past Jones.[LNB]He scored again in the 84th minute from close range before Orient defender Tamika Mkandawire was sent off for a professional foul and in the second minute of injury time Thornton scored again with a 30-yard shot.[LNB][LNB]
