20th January 2008
Oxford United (Home)
Exeter City 2-0 Oxford United
Adam Stansfield's first-half double eased Exeter to a comfortable win over Oxford to boost their play-off hopes.
Stansfield had scored just twice this season prior to Sunday's game, but he rediscovered the goalscoring touch with a neat strike on 29 minutes.
The 29-year-old striker was on the mark again five minutes before half-time when he rounde keeper Billy Turley.
After the interval Steve Basham came close to a third when he hit the post with a tight-angled shot.
