THE Oxford Mail player ratings after Oxford United struck late on to win at home against Cambridge United on Boxing Day.

JAMES BEADLE

Only had one proper save to make, getting down low to push behind a Sullay Kaikai shot from the edge of the box – 7

FIN STEVENS

Solid display at right back without offering too much though in the final third – 6.5

ELLIOTT MOORE

Handled the threat of Kaikai up front, however he was beaten in the air for the flick-on which led to Cambridge taking the lead – 6.5

CIARON BROWN

Strong display defensively and was the sharpest to react at the death, to secure all three points for the U’s. BOOKED – 8

JOE BENNETT

Another good showing from the 33-year-old, who has proven to be an astute addition to the squad – 7

RUBEN RODRIGUES

Struggled to have a significant impact on the game and played up front for the final 10 minutes after Mark Harris was substituted – 6.5

MARCUS MCGUANE

Taken off midway through the second half after a quiet afternoon in the middle of the park – 6

CAMERON BRANNAGAN

Was at times a one-man mission to drag United into the game in the second half, going close on a handful of times. BOOKED. MAN OF THE MATCH – 8

STAN MILLS

Arguably the biggest threat in the first half, but faded a little bit after the half-time break – 7.5

MARK HARRIS

Hold-up play was impressive as he brought his teammates into play. Was beaten to the ball by Jordan Cousins for the Cambridge goal though – 7

TYLER GOODRHAM

Great goal to bring the U’s level and was a regular source of attacks down the left-hand side – 7.5
