"Oxford United moved out of the relegation zone in the Championship as they beat Ipswich Town 2-1 at The Kassam Stadium. Goals from Mark Harris and Przemyslaw Placheta, either side of a brilliant volley from Leif Davis, saw Oxford move up to 19th in the standings, while Ipswich have missed the chance to go second and put pressure on the surrounding teams ahead of the weekend's action."
"Oxford took the lead after 24 minutes following a mistake from Azor Matusiwa. The 27-year-old underhit a pass towards Cedric Kipre, and Harris pounced on the error before firing past Christian Walton. Ipswich equalised in the opening minutes of the second half. Marcelino Nunez picked out Davis on the edge of the box from a corner, and the left-back volleyed the ball into the back of the net to give his side the momentum."
"The Tractor Boys accumulated 1.7 expected goals (xG) from 18 shots, while Oxford produced 1.24 from 13 attempts. Although Placheta and Cummings might get most of the plaudits, it was also a fantastic display from Oxford left-back Jack Currie. He won the joint-most tackles for his side (four), recorded the joint-most interceptions (two), won the most duels (seven), and had the second-most touches (44)."
