Sullay Kaikai’s first goal since joining the club from Wycombe Wanderers in January saw Dons take a 25th minute lead but Dons should have had the game wrapped up at the break, such was their control.
The second-half though saw Oxford dominate, with Dons distinctly off-the-pace compared to Karl Robinson’s side, who drew level through Lewis Bate with 20 minutes remaining.
Here’s how we rated the players.

2. Jack Tucker - 6.5
Another solid game for the defender, but got brushed aside a couple of times in the latter stages as Oxford pressed for a winner Photo: Jane Russell
3. Zak Jules - 7
A pretty faultless outing, strong in the air and showed a good touch Photo: Jane Russell
4. Tennai Watson - 6.5
Worked well with Leko in the first-half but was pinned back for much of the second Photo: Jane Russell
