Leif Davis scored his first career goal to equalise Yanic Wildschut’s opener for Oxford to leave the scoreline 1-1 between the Blues and U’s at the Kassam Stadium at half-time.
Town were left rueing missed chances as they lost further ground in the promotion battle following a 2-1 defeat in thick fog at Oxford United. Yanic Wildschut gave the U’s the lead in the 34th minute before Leif Davis headed the Blues level four minutes later with his first career goal, however, Cameron Brannagan won the game for the home side with seven minutes left on the clock with a low strike from outside the area.
Freddie Ladapo, Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin were on target as Town comfortably beat Oxford United 3-0 at Portman Road, their first victory over the U’s since February 1999. Ladapo followed up Chaplin’s volley in the 39th minute to give the Blues the lead, then six minutes later Burns hooked home a corner to make it 2-0 and Chaplin made it three with nine minutes left to inflict Oxford’s first league defeat by more than one goal this season.
