Aldershot 1-0 Oxford Utd

Grant grabbed the only goal for league leaders Aldershot
Aldershot ended a run of two defeats with a battling victory over Oxford.
The visitors dominated initially with Matthew Green and Phil Trainer firing efforts just wide of Nikki Bull's goal.

Oxford striker Justin Richards had chances before the break but blasted one effort well wide before blazing another straight at Bull.

The leaders finally broke the deadlock in the 65th minute when striker John Grant headed a Louis Soares corner past Oxford goalkeeper Billy Turley.
