Huddersfield Town beat Oxford United 3-1 in League One, with Joe Taylor’s double inside three second-half minutes deciding a topsy-turvy contest. Bojan Radulović had given Huddersfield the lead before Oxford hit back, and Taylor’s brace swung it decisively.
Radulović opened the scoring from Derensili Sanches Fernandes’s pass in the 56th minute. Gatlin O’Donkor equalised for Oxford on 70 with Leo Snowden assisting, but within four minutes Joe Taylor made it 2-1 from Ryan Ledson’s assist on 74, and Sanches Fernandes teed up his second three minutes later to make it 3-1.
The stats show Huddersfield won without dominating the ball. Oxford had 62% possession and completed 452 passes to Huddersfield’s 241, yet the home side had 25 shots to Oxford’s five, ten big chances to one, and an expected-goals figure of 3.87 against 1.01. Oxford’s goalkeeper made six saves, but Huddersfield’s greater cutting edge told.
