    Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Burton and Oxford.

    Burton picked up their first win of 2023 with a much-needed 2-0 win over Oxford in Sky Bet League One.

    Goals in the five minutes either side of half-time - a Simon Eastwood own goal and then Dale Taylor's first in Albion colours - secured a precious win for Dino Maamria's men.

    Zac Ashworth was unfortunate not to get the credit for Albion's first goal when his sweetly hit 30-yard volley smacked against a post and hit Eastwood on the back before bouncing into the back of the net.

    Oxford had started well and Matty Taylor was denied by a fingertip save by Craig MacGillivray and Billy Bodin saw a shot headed off the line by John Brayford.

    Albion took a while to get into the game but began to grow in confidence and after the opening goal could have been two up but for a good save from Eastwood to deny Taylor.

    The Irish striker, on loan from Nottingham Forest, was not deterred and produced an instinctive near-post finish to convert Tom Hamer's low cross and double Albion's lead just four minutes after the break and from there Albion were relatively comfortable as Oxford struggled to respond.
