Sheffield United 2-1 Oxford: James Wilson seals first win for Chris Wilder
Sunday 28 August 2016 17:11, UK
Sheffield United got their first win of the season as goals from Billy Sharp and James Wilson cancelled out a Kane Hemmings opener to give them a 2-1 victory over Oxford United.
Oxford took the lead through Hemmings in the 16th minute after Blades keeper Simon Moore could only parry a long-range Liam Sercombe into the path of the onrushing striker.
The hosts looked for a reply and Kieron Freeman was unlucky to see his effort deflect over the bar after a mazy run and pass by Mark Duffy.
Matt Done then had a low drive from inside the area pushed away by a strong Simon Eastwood hand.
In the 52nd minute, a first-time effort from John Lundstram from the edge of the box was parried away by Moore after a clever free-kick routine by the visitors.
