Taylor and Pok on target in Peterborough win at Oxford

First-half goals from Jack Taylor and Kwame Poku set Peterborough up for a 2-1 victory at Oxford, who had striker Matty Taylor sent off.

Struggling Oxford had been hoping to follow up their big away win at Exeter seven days earlier but their form at the Kassam Stadium this season has been poor.

Irish midfielder Taylor turned in Ephron Mason-Clark’s left-wing cross in the seventh minute.

Posh doubled the lead on 31 minutes when Mason-Clark kept an attack alive by feeding Poku, who shot low past Simon Eastwood.

Billy Bodin, who had been unlucky with a goal disallowed for offside and a header against a post, pulled one back for the U’s on 52 minutes.
