      Blackburn overcome missed penalty to beat Oxford

      Substitute Jack Payne's first goal for Blackburn secured a 2-1 victory over Oxford in front of a jubilant Ewood Park.It was a game of firsts as Darragh Lenihan's first for the club put Blackburn ahead and even Charlie Mulgrew's missed penalty couldn't dampen spirits. James Henry's equaliser threatened to derail the celebrations but former Oxford loanee Payne fired the winner as Blackburn comfortably finished second in League One.The partisan crowd were treated to an early goal as Mulgrew's 12th-minute free-kick was met by Lenihan, who powered his header past Simon Eastwood.The Oxford stopper superbly repelled Adam Armstrong before David Raya denied John Mousinho's header at the other end.Eastwood's foul on Elliott Bennett before the break gave Mulgrew the chance to double the lead, but the goalkeeper superbly tipped behind.The U's made their hosts pay in the 66th minute as Henry's near-post half-volley was directed past Raya but Payne settled proceedings 10 minutes later, lashing a left-foot shot in via a deflection.

        Todd Kane penalty secures Oxford's League One status

        Oxford United came from behind with two second-half penalties to beat Rochdale 2-1 and secure their League One status.The result was a big blow to fellow strugglers Dale who slipped back into the bottom four with next weekend's home match against Charlton their last hope of beating relegation.In the first half U's goalkeeper Simon Eastwood produced a stunning point-blank range save from Calvin Andrew's header.Bradden Inman fired the visitors in front after 59 minutes with a low shot from 16 yards after cutting inside a defender.Oxford equalised three minutes later from the penalty spot after Joe Rothwell drove into the box and was brought down by Callum Camps.Skipper John Mousinho hammered the spot-kick high into the net for his first goal for the club.With six minutes to go Camps was again guilty of a mistimed tackle, tripping substituting Rob Hall inside the area.This time Todd Kane took the penalty and sent Josh Lillis the wrong way as he fired into the bottom-right corner to send Oxford eight points above the drop zone.
