Oxford United 1-2 Port Vale

On-loan man Alfie Devine converted a penalty deep into stoppage time to give Port Vale a victory at Oxford United, who had two players sent off in a madcap second half.

Devine fired the spot-kick past James Beadle for his first goal for Vale in the ninth minute of time added on after Elliott Moore had fouled Ben Garrity.

All of the game's action came in a dramatic final half hour.

Oxford striker Mark Harris was shown a straight red card in the 63rd minute following an off-the-ball clash with Vale captain Nathan Smith.

Alex Iacovitti then headed the visitors in front in the 74th minute, glancing home from Devine's free-kick.

Greg Leigh equalised at the far post three minutes into stoppage time, firing high into the net when Stan Mills' cross reached him at the far post.

However, left-back Leigh's delight turned to despair moments later when he was shown a second yellow card for a trip.

On-loan Tottenham man Devine then kept his head from the spot to secure all three points to move Vale up to fourth in the table.

Oxford, who were bidding for a fifth successive victory, were below their best on a warm afternoon, but Vale keeper Connor Ripley produced good saves from Billy Bodin, Cameron Brannagan and Tyler Goodrham before the Harris red card sparked such a frantic finale.
