U's BEAUTIES - OXFORD UNITED 0 BURTON ALBION 3 (08/03/08)

The Brewers got their play-off push back on track in spectacular fashion with this demolition of sorry Oxford.

The home side had the early chances to take the lead but were denied by poor finishing and the woodwork, but Burton lost their previous shyness in front of goal and took the lead through Daryl Clare's header.

Keith Gilroy added a spectacular second to give the Brewers a two goal lead at half time, and the Irishman scored his second goal after the break to put the result beyond doubt.

The home fans showed their discord as their team failed to muster anything in the second half and their cause was not helped by the sending off of James Clarke.

The win keeps the Brewers in 6th place in the table but leaves them only one point away from the play-offs.

Jake Edwards scored a goal late in the second half to offer a slim chance of a come back, but Jack Midsom added a third with five minutes to go to send the home fans streaming out through the exits.
