Roberts strikes again

admin

Roberts, making his full Football League debut, grabbed the only goal of the game on 34 minutes after bagging an FA Cup brace at Grimsby last weekend.

York, meanwhile, have now gone 12 home matches without a win.

Michael Coulson was unlucky not to open the scoring for the hosts when his curling edge-of-the-box effort thudded against the crossbar with Oxford keeper Ryan Clarke well beaten.

But it was the visitors who forged ahead on 34 minutes after Alex Cisak had tipped a Brian Howard free kick over.

Howard swung in the resulting corner and, after Danny Hylton had won his header at the near post, Roberts pounced to net from three yards.

After Lewis Montrose called Clarke into early second-half action, Alfie Potter and Roberts had Cisak at full stretch at the other end.

Roberts also hit the post late on after sprinting on to a Hylton through ball but one goal proved sufficient
