Huddersfield lead League One after triumph over Oxford

Oxford cried penalty after Ryan Ledson’s challenge on Siriki Dembele inside the box on 52 minutes, but the referee waved it away.

Huddersfield took the lead four minutes later as Derensili Sanches Fernandes slipped the ball in behind the visitors’ defence to find Bojan Radulovic, whose pinpoint finish left Simon Eastwood with no chance.

Joe Taylor should have doubled the lead moments later, but dragged his shot from a narrow angle back across the face of an open net.

Oxford equalised on 70 minutes as Leo Snowden got to free at the byline and gave fellow substitute Gatlin O’Donkor a tap-in with a ball across the six yard box.

Taylor was gutted to miss another great chance three minutes later as Eastwood thwarted his effort to dink the ball over him.

But the striker headed home from the resulting corner, before rounding out the win with another goal at the end of a swift passing move.
