Oxford Stuns Ipswich with Late Comeback Win
29 Nov
Summary
- Harris scores first goal of season to lift Oxford
- Placheta's well-taken finish secures vital three points
- Oxford climbs out of bottom three with crucial victory
Oxford's crucial 2-1 triumph over Ipswich has propelled them out of the Championship's bottom three positions. Manager Gary Rowett expressed his delight, particularly for goalscorers Mark Harris and Przemyslaw Placheta, whose efforts secured the vital win.
Harris netted his first goal of the season, a moment that Rowett highlighted, praising the striker's work ethic and selfless contribution to the team. Placheta's decisive strike, assisted by Brian De Keersmaecker, capped off a performance that demonstrated Oxford's attacking potential and character.
Despite conceding a disappointing equalizer, Oxford showed ambition by making tactical changes, opting to push for a win rather than settling for a draw. Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna lamented his team's lack of clinical finishing and costly defensive errors, which ultimately led to their defeat.
