We found a way to win - Rowett

Oxford United boss Gary Rowett has been speaking to BBC Radio Oxford after the U's ended a nine-game winless run in the Championship with a 1-0 victory over Watford in tough conditions.

"It was a difficult game, not only the opposition but a bit of a swirling wind," he said.

"It helped us to press them, it helped us to stop any rhythm particularly early on but we never seemed to build any real momentum.

"I was pleased that we found a way today, I think that was the most important thing. We found a way to win the game.

"It was a great strike from Dems [Siriki Dembele]. Just before the red card [for Abankwah], I was about to take him off so what do I know? But he came up with the goods.

"I spoke to him a little bit about that recently, just adding goals, being a little bit more selfish in that final third area, so I was really pleased he did that today."
