Shrewsbury Town 1-1 Oxford United

Jack Price's stunning late strike helped relegation-battling Shrewsbury Town earn a draw with League One play-off hopefuls Oxford United.

Billy Bodin fired Oxford into a second-half lead but they dropped out of the top six after Price volleyed home his 83rd-minute equaliser.

In a quiet opening 15 minutes, Oxford had the first opportunity through Mark Harris, who was played through on goal but denied by goalkeeper Marko Marosi.

Shrewsbury's Aiden O'Brien received a low ball into the box from Dan Udoh on the half-hour mark, but his timid effort was parried clear by Jamie Cumming.

The U's broke the deadlock eight minutes into the second half when Josh Murphy brought down a long ball, went around the keeper before getting pushed wide and sent in a low cross to Harris, who laid it off to Bodin to smash home.

But the hosts equalised through substitute Price's 20-yard volley.

Oxford came close to retaking the lead from the kick-off when Bodin had an edge-of-the-box effort pushed away.

Cameron Brannagan then had a follow-up shot, but Morgan Feeney made a last-ditch clearance to edge the the home side a point closer to safety.
