Oxford United pulled off a dramatic win over Southampton at the Kassam Stadium in their first Championship game since Gary Rowett was sacked. Tyler Goodrham gave the hosts an early lead with a stunning strike from outside the box, but Southampton quickly equalized through Taylor Harwood-Bellis’ header from a Leo Scienza free-kick.
The match looked set to end in a draw, but Stan Mills struck in the dying moments of normal time, finishing off Will Lankshear’s flick to secure a shock victory for Oxford. Southampton had an early penalty appeal turned down and created chances throughout, but couldn’t find a winner. Oxford’s late goal ensured all three points stayed with the U’s in an exciting and hard-fought contest.
