Oxford showed 'more confidence' in Bristol City win

Oxford United head coach Gary Rowett said his side showed "more confidence" as they picked up their first league win of the campaign away at Bristol City.

The U's followed up two draws with Coventry and Leicester with the 3-1 win to move out of the bottom three of the table.

"I thought first-half we were outstanding. We started the season poorly but we built on the second half against Coventry and first half against Leicester," Rowett said.

"We've taken that into today and showed a little bit more confidence, created some really good moments, had to ride a few moments defensively.

"I felt as though we gave them one or two moments easily, but we managed to get blocks in and the like.

"We more than deserved it today. I thought it was a good all-round performance."
