Oxford 0-3 Bristol Rovers: More pressure on Karl Robinson after United defeat
Saturday 25 February 2023 17:25, UK
Two goals in six minutes midway through the first half set Bristol Rovers up for a first win in eight games and piled more misery on free-falling Oxford as they won 3-0.
Scott Sinclair sent Simon Eastwood the wrong way from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute after Lamare Bogarde was tripped by Cameron Brannagan.
Then on 28 minutes Aaron Collins turned in Sinclair's right-wing cross from close range at the near post.
Luca Hoole headed in James Connolly's 75th-minute corner as Rovers made it three to wrap up a comfortable league double over a sorry-looking U's.
Oxford have now picked up just one point from the last 24 and large sections of the home support called for manager Karl Robinson to go.
