West Brom win 'big day' for Oxford - Bloomfield

Oxford United head coach Matt Bloomfield says his side's 2-1 win over fellow strugglers West Bromwich Albion was a "big day" for the club.

The victory was Oxford's first in seven Championship matches and Bloomfield's first at home since taking over the club in early January.

Oxford moved three points off West Brom and two off 22nd-placed Leicester City after the win.

"It's really important that we got that first home win," he told BBC Radio Oxford.

"It's really important that we give our supporters something to cheer about, be proud of their team about and something that we can really get our teeth stuck into.

"Today did feel like a big day, it was only three points, but it felt like it was a big day for us and I'm so proud to be stood here as the winning manager.

"If you look at last season the survival was built on set-piece goals and we need to do better at that - we need to do better at goals in general. But set-pieces are a great threat for us, so really pleased that we got two from that today."
