Oxford United crashed to their heaviest defeat of the season with a 5-0 hammering at Rushden & Diamonds in the Blue Square Premier on Thursday night.

United were 3-0 inside 14 minutes with Simeon Jackson, a Matt Day own goal and Craig McAllister netting for Rushden.

An own goal by loan signing Kieron St Aimie and Jackson's second completed United's misery after the break.
