Oxford should score...then take the lead moments later
Matty Taylor breaks into the box and fires just wide with a low shot to BPF’s left-hand side. Then Cameron Brannagan grabs the opening goal as he bursts into the area on the right-hand side and fires in low before the Owls stopper can get down to the strike.
