Wollacott's side entered the matchday 37 clash against Sutton with only one aim - victory. And it came as little surprise when the home side broke the deadlock after just 14 minutes.

Sutton pulled parity exactly 14 minutes later to end the first half even. But a quick start to the second stanza ensured McKirdy restored the lead, which was eventually the winning goal.

What was the performance of Wollacott against Sutton

Wollacott, 25, has been a colossus in between the sticks for Swindon Town, playing 32 matches for the Robins and recording nine clean sheets in the ongoing campaign.

Jojo was less busy for the home side, making only two saves as Swindon dominated proceedings.

He also lasted the entire duration of the game recording an assist to colour his outing.

How did Wollacott assist Josh Davison?

After 14 minutes into the first half, the Ghanaian custodian won an aerial duel and quickly sent a precise long-range pass to English striker Josh Davison to initiate a counterattack.

The 25-year-old shot-stopper recorded his second successive clean sheet as Swindon continue their resurgence after a poor run of games.

Despite a complete dominance from the away side, Wollacott still had to pull six saves to shut Carlisle out and help his side to their second 3:0 win on the trot.
