OXFORD Mail player ratings for Oxford United’s 2-1 win at home to Wigan Athletic.

JACK STEVENS (6.5)

Reasonably untroubled and could do little about Lang’s goal

ANTHONY FORDE (7)

A solid showing from the auxiliary right back. Got forward to good effect

ELLIOTT MOORE (8)

Stayed forward after a set-piece to sniff out a late goal and was rewarded with the matchwinner

ROB ATKINSON (7.5)

Strong display and almost scored following a marauding run

JOSH RUFFELS (7)

Relatively quiet night compared to some of his recent performances

LIAM KELLY (6.5)

Looked for some clever balls over the top in the first half

ALEX GORRIN (6)

Some uncharacteristic sloppy passing in the first half but better in the second

CAMERON BRANNAGAN (6.5)

Relatively quiet. Had one effort which nearly brought a goal

MARK SYKES (8.5)

Took his chance back in the team and put in an all-action display. MAN OF THE MATCH

SAM WINNALL (8)

Led the line really well and was a constant nuisance for the Wigan defence

BRANDON BARKER (8)

Full of trickery and clearly a very confident player on the ball
