Keith O'Halloran: The Irishman's pair of terrific long-range strikes killed off Gateshead and paved the way for Town's exhibition football in the last 20 minutes.
O'Halloran was deployed on the left side of midfield but never looked out of place.
He is the only ever-present in Swindon's starting line-up this season, playing all 26 games so far.
His tenacity, control, accurate passing and vision stand out, and now he has added goal-scoring prowess to his armoury.
He has been a vital component of the Town team and he will be sorely missed when he serves a one-match suspension next week.
