| After putting their whole squad on the transfer list due to financial difficulties, Oxford travel to Swindon for a local derby - Swindon resident Mike Ford putting them one up. But the away team self-implode - Brian Wilsterman scoring an own goal and conceding a penalty within a six minute spell - before second half goals from Steve Finney and Ty Gooden wrapping up a comfortable 4-1 win for the Town. |
