Iwan Morgan bags brace as Grimsby thrash 10-man Swindon
Andy Cook and Josh Andrews also netted for the Mariners.
Iwan Morgan’s exquisite lob was the pick of the bunch as Grimsby ran riot with a 4-1 win at 10-man Swindon.
Home goalkeeper Connor Ripley did well to deny Sonny Finch by coming out quickly to block but Grimsby went ahead in the 21st minute when Andy Cook latched on to Jamie Walker’s long ball and turned Kaelan Majekodunmi inside out before smacking home.
Ripley then reacted smartly to tip over a vicious volley from Morgan, who doubled Grimsby’s lead in the 43rd minute with a superb chip into the top corner.
After the break, Aaron Drinan volleyed straight at Christy Pym before Morgan grabbed his second from the spot in the 58th minute after a foul on Cameron McJannet.
Things got even worse for the Robins when Dan Butler received a second yellow for fouling Josh Andrews in the 66th minute.
Ryley Reynolds surged down the right flank to pick out Andrews for a tap in eight minutes from time before Drinan was hacked down and then notched the rebound from his spot-kick with five minutes left.
