LEAGUE ONE ROUND-UP: Oxford are denied a win after a late wonder goal from Accrington Stanley, while Forest Green Rovers moved off the bottom of the table… PLUS, Derby held to goalless draw

  • There was plenty of action in this week’s set of fixtures in League One 
  • Oxford United were pegged back by a late wonder-goal from James Henry 
  • Forest Green Rovers moved off the bottom of the league table with a win 
  • Derby were held to a goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday 

Accrington Stanley 1 Oxford 1 

Karl Robinson was frustrated as his Oxford side conceded an 84th-minute wonder goal. 

James Henry gave the visitors the lead before Ethan Hamilton fired home a 35-yard strike for Stanley. ‘We didn’t turn the screw,’ Robinson said.

Forest Green 2 Cambridge 1 

Forest Green moved off the bottom, thanks to Connor Wickham’s late penalty. ‘It would’ve been a travesty if we hadn’t won,’ Rovers boss Ian Burchnall said. 

Josh March gave Rovers the lead, while Cambridge equalised through Saikou Janneh. 

Corey O’Keeffe was sent off for the hosts.

MK Dons 1 Burton 1 

Bradley Johnson’s late equaliser saved MK Dons against fellow relegationstrugglers Burton, who led through Victor Adeboyejo’s penalty. 

The hosts’ furious boss Liam Manning said: ‘That was some diabolical refereeing again.’

Derby 0 Sheff Wed 0 

Paul Warne thought his Derby team kept Wednesday in check in a goalless draw he described as a ‘game of chess’. 

The visitors’ David Stockdale was the busier keeper in the first half, cutting out a James Collins cross before David McGoldrick could pounce. 

Wednesday failed to test Joe Wildsmith in the first half but the Derby keeper rescued his side when he blocked a Fisayo DeleBashiru shot with his feet. 

Wednesday manager Darren Moore echoed Warne’s sentiments when he said: ‘I thought the teams cancelled each other out.’

Shrewsbury 2 Lincoln 0 

Shrewsbury boss Steve Cotterill revealed he banished himself to the stand for 10 minutes after collecting a yellow card for straying outside of his technical area. 

‘The officiating was getting on my nerves,’ he said. Luke Leahy’s penalty and Tom Bayliss’s strike sealed the points.
