Roberts rescues Oxford
Saturday 24 January 2015 19:16, UK
Substitute James Roberts produced a superb finish from 20 yards to earn Oxford a 2-2 draw with Exeter at the Kassam Stadium.
The Grecians, behind early on, looked to be heading for victory when they went 2-1 up after 87 minutes with Alex Nichols looping a header in from close range. But Roberts worked space for himself on the edge of the area and curled a left-foot shot in off the post. Oxford had taken the lead in the 18th minute when leading scorer Danny Hylton volleyed home from 10 yards from Callum O'Dowda's driven left-wing cross for his 14th goal of the season. But Exeter levelled in the 37th minute through Arron Davies, who took Graham Cummins' knock-down and volleyed past goalkeeper Ryan Clarke from 16 yards out.
