West Bromwich Albion 2-1 Oxford United: Baggies end winless run

The Baggies dominated the early stages, forcing four corners inside the first eight minutes, with Isaac Price seeing a flicked header headed off the line by Ciaron Brown.

But they looked like a side that had failed to score in their previous three league games as, despite continuing to lay siege to the Oxford goal, only a blocked Mikey Johnston effort from a tight angle truly looked like it would break the first-half deadlock.

Cameron Brannagan had a long-range effort for Oxford that forced Josh Griffiths into a save as West Brom continued to create half-chances.

The impressive Johnston curled an effort wide, before he put in a teasing pass across the face of goal three minutes before the break, which forwards Josh Maja and Karlan Grant failed to connect with.

Lankshear finished well from a Przemyslaw Placheta cross along the six-yard box from the right to give Oxford the lead soon after the break, but their advantage was short-lived.

Johnston was again involved as he played in Callum Styles, and his low ball across the face of goal was parried by Cumming into Leigh and back into the net.

It kick-started the hosts and Isaac Price and Jayson Molumby went close before what was an impressive winner.

Price whipped in an excellent cross from the right and Heggebo got in front of his marker at the near post and powered it into the top corner.

Brannagan had two more long-range efforts that needed decent saves from Griffiths, but Oxford were unable to get an equaliser and Heggebo forced Cumming into a save in the 90th minute, before fellow substitute Samuel Iling-Junior blazed over from an angle in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
