Siriki Dembele, Louie Sibley and Gatlin O\u2019Donkor all struck late on to earn Oxford a 3-0 victory over Burton at the Kassam Stadium.<\/p>\n
Tyler Goodrham released Mo Missanga with his first touch and 18-year-old Missanga superbly cut the ball back for Dembele to shoot high into the net from seven yards in the 76th minute.<\/p>\n
Peter Kioso hit the bar moments later as Oxford applied late pressure, and sub Sibley added a second with a fine left-footed finish from 20 yards in the 90th minute.<\/p>\n
Fellow substitute O’Donkor then rubbed salt into the Brewers’ wounds with a third in added time.<\/p>\n
Albion will be kicking themselves that they didn’t take one of their chances before the U’s broke through.<\/p>\n
Simon Eastwood saved with his legs from William Collar in the first half and turned aside Charlie Webster’s effort that was heading for the top right corner in the second.<\/p>\n
Raphael Borges Rodrigues also shot just past the post for the visitors following Kyran Lofthouse’s surging run.<\/p>\n
