Earlier this week Ebbsfleet agreed a takeover deal with MyFootballClub that will allow the website's 20,000 to have a big say in the running of the club.

Oxford substitute Robert Duffy was sent off just two minutes after coming off the bench for a foul on Mark Ricketts.

Late on Chris McPhee had a chance for Ebbsfleet, while Fleet keeper Lance Cronin saved Carl Pettefer's shot.
