Harrogate boosted their League Two survival hopes as they beat Swindon 1-0 at Wetherby Road to register a first victory in six attempts.

Jasper Moon’s second-half header proved sufficient to settle the game, ending the in-form Robins’ six-match unbeaten run.

The most notable moment of the first half saw Harrogate awarded a 44th-minute penalty when striker Josh March was brought down by visiting goalkeeper Connor Ripley, only for referee Simon Mather to controversially change his mind.

But the hosts did break through seven minutes into the second period, with on-loan Burton defender Moon guiding home Bryn Morris’ low strike from Ellis Taylor’s corner.

Morris then missed a golden chance to double the lead when he nodded James Daly’s cross wide, with James Belshaw required to make a fine stoppage-time save to prevent Swindon forward Harry Smith from equalising at the death.
