Bottom side Oxford City spurned a lead to go down 2-1 to AFC Fylde in the National League, confirming their relegation back to the sixth tier in the process.

But Joe Westley got in behind the Oxford back line on the hour and expertly bent the ball into the net to draw the hosts level.

Nick Haughton sealed the victory for Fylde with a stunning free-kick into the top corner with 10 minutes remaining.

The result leaves Oxford 16 points from safety with only five games remaining.
