Oxford failed to leapfrog Luton into second in the table after they were held to a goalless draw at Tamworth.

The Lambs had a chance after just 16 seconds but striker Iyseden Christie flashed his header wide from 12 yards.

James Constable came close to his 19th of the season when he hit a stinging volley from the edge of the area but Tamworth keeper Danny Alcock saved.

After the break there were few chances but Michael Blackwood had a rare sight of goal for the hosts.
