Oxford vs Stockport

Wales striker Mark Harris's first-half goal gave Oxford a 1-0 victory over Stockport, who missed out on the chance to go top of League One.

Harris struck in the 35th minute, slamming in Siriki Dembele's low cross following a pacy break down the left.

The win extended Oxford's unbeaten run to eight games and was a first defeat in seven for Stockport.

The Hatters were without Adama Sidibeh - who came off the bench to earn a point at Notts County - because of a thigh injury.

Top scorer Kyle Wootton headed Benony Andresson's left-wing cross over from 10 yards and Andresson was denied by a smart save from Jamie Cumming as the visitors started to boss proceedings for a while.

But Harris's goal changed the mood, and Louie Sibley then Harris again almost struck again before half-time.
