Oxford 3-0 Doncaster: United's fine form continues
Saturday 12 October 2019 17:14, UK
James Henry scored twice as Oxford United beat Doncaster 3-0 to stretch their unbeaten run to eight matches.
The winger's brace sandwiched a Cameron Brannagan finish for League One's form team.
The Us did all the pressing early on as Jamie Mackie saw a close-range shot saved, Henry fired wide from 20 yards and Tariqe Fosu curled a right-footed effort against the post.
Rovers almost broke the deadlock when Kieran Sadlier directed Brad Halliday's cross over the bar but in first-half stoppage time, Henry unleashed a stunning drive past Seny Dieng from 23 yards.
And a minute after the restart, Brannagan turned in Chris Cadden's pass for his seventh goal of the season.
Henry wrapped up Oxford's third successive 3-0 home league win by converting a penalty 13 minutes from time, midfielder's eighth goal in his last nine appearances, after Tom Anderson handled Shandon Baptiste's cross.
Rob Dickie and Rob Hall also went close in a one-sided win.
