Kemar Roofe joined Oxford on a permanent deal from West Brom in the summer
Kemar Roofe ensured Oxford returned to winning ways as he netted his sixth goal of the season in a win at York.
Danny Hylton gave Michael Appleton's side an early lead as he coolly rounded York goalkeeper Scott Flinders.
But confusion in the Oxford penalty area between keeper Sam Slocombe and Johnny Mullins gifted Rhys Turner a simple equaliser before the interval.
Roofe pounced in the area for the second-half winner after Mullins' shot was cleared off the York line.
York boss Russ Wilcox told BBC Radio York:
Russ Wilcox on York v Oxford
"We're in a difficult period. We've just played two top teams that have got quality players.
"But I can't ask any more from the players, attitude and application-wise.
"We're looking for a little bit more quality. We're missing four players. You put them into our team and it makes us stronger.
"So we've got to keep battling away and working on things we need to improve on."
