Oxford failed to hold onto a lead at home for the fourth time this season as Accrington hit back to draw 1-1.
Peter Murphy drove in a 62nd-minute equaliser from 20 yards, and it was no more than Stanley deserved after they carved out most of the game's best chances at the Kassam Stadium. A deflected free-kick from Paul McLaren in the 35th minute had given Oxford the lead. The midfielder's shot from 25 yards struck Luke Joyce and totally wrong-footed keeper Sean Murdoch. Accrington had the better of the opportunities to win the contest. Dean Winnard hit the post and Wes Fletcher had a goal ruled out for offside for the visitors, who were good value for their point.
