Oxford snaps winless run to upset Watford progress
Oxford United ended a nine-match winless run after beating Watford 1-0 at Kassam Stadium in the EFL Championship, denting the Hornets' hopes of moving closer to the top six.
Siriki Dembele scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute after James Abankwah had been sent off for the visitors three minutes earlier after receiving a second yellow card.
The result lifted Oxford to 18th and puts four points between itself and the bottom three, while Watford is 10th and now trails the play-offs by five points.
