Oxford United secured their first win under new boss Aaron Ramsey with a 2-1 victory at Stevenage. The win came after a double substitution in the 65th minute, with Stanley Mills and Gatlin O'Donkor combining to score the opening goal.
What happened?
The match saw both teams suffer injuries, with Oxford losing goalkeeper Jamie Cumming and Stevenage's Jasper Pattenden going off.
Key moments
Despite Stevenage having a couple of good headers go wide in the first half, Oxford's Louie Sibley tested Filip Marschall in the first period. The second half saw a big chance fall to Sibley, who shot over from inside the box.
Turning point
A duo of inspired substitutions from Ramsey saw Stan Mills swing a sweet ball to Gatlin O'Donkor, who headed low into the net to give Oxford the lead. Oxford's next fixture is against AFC Wimbledon at home on 2027-01-09, as they look to build on this win and improve their league standing, currently 42 points behind leaders Coventry.
