This time it was Port Vale with zero shots on target in the 2 - 0 win for Oxford.

However, with under ten minutes to go, Jack Price found the back of the net for Shrewsbury and forced a 1 - 1 draw. Oxford were back to winning ways against Fleetwood. A brace from Mark Harris and goals from Cameron Brannagan and Owen Dale gave Oxford the 4 - 0 win.
