James Constable clinched victory for Oxford against an Altrincham side that finished the game with 10 men.

Luke Foster had a chance to put United ahead early on but missed from close range while Constable fired wide in a goalless first half.

Oxford keeper Billy Turley kept the game level with a stunning save from Dale Johnson's powerful strike before Constable volleyed in the winner.

Anthony Danylyk was sent off late on after picking up a second yellow card.
