Elliot Benyon scored two second-half goals to keep Torquay in the play-off picture as both sides finished the game with 10 men at the Kassam Stadium.

Oxford's Craig Nelthorpe was sent off after clashing with Mustapha Carayol while Roscoe DSane saw red moments after coming on as a substitute.

Home keeper Billy Turley kept out a Kevin Nicholson free-kick before Benyon headed in Nicholson's corner.

And he sealed the win with a curling shot after Turley scuffed a goal-kick.
