Dave Kitson scored twice as Oxford beat Portsmouth to gain them an important three points in their quest to move out of the bottom-end of the table.
The former Portsmouth man headed home from close range early on after a series of errors and doubled his tally by firing a shot past Abdoulaye Keita.
Pompey weren't totally out of the game as they pulled level through Wade Elliott's 45th minute free-kick gave the vocal visiting fans hope.
Joe Devera and Danny East both had late chances to level but Oxford held on.

Portsmouth manager Joe Jordan told BBC Radio Solent:
"We're two games in-a-row without any points and that's very disappointing. I think everybody here would say that.
"We suffered to a couple of clinical finishes that they had in the first half and that's what you've got to guard against.
"I'm a little disappointed with the players. Although I think the energy levels were good. We kept going at them, we wouldn't let them rest.
"They had two clinical finishes in the game that cost us goals, we just didn't finish the chances we created and that's very frustrating."

Blues sign former Dijon Defender
Pompey have signed left-back Lesly Malouda - younger brother of former Chelsea winger Florent - on a free transfer.
The 30-year-old will wear the number 15 shirt during his time at Fratton Park.
Blues boss Joe Jordan said: “We needed an extra body in that left-back position.
“Lesly gives us another good option in that area and we’re grateful to have the opportunity to bring him in.”
Malouda started his career at RC Lens and he made 28 appearances on loan at Istres before joining Dijon in the summer of 2009.
He has played 56 times for the French side, but found himself surplus to requirements at Stade Gaston Gérard.

Accrington Stanley strengthened their hold on the top spot in League Two and extended their winning run to six games as James Gray's goal gave them victory at Portsmouth.
The home side went close in the first half when Wade Elliott clipped the bar and then dragged a shot wide of the post.
Just before the quarter-hour mark, James Gray raced through on goal and his attempt found it's way past Abdoulaye Keita and into the net.
Adda Djeziri's goalbound effort for Pompey was blocked by Dean Winnard as Portsmouth pushed for an equaliser.
Portsmouth may also have a valid reason to feel disgruntled after seeing a Wes Fogden's headed goal disallowed late on in the match.
VIEW FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Portsmouth manager Joe Jordan told BBC Radio Solent:
"We didn't play as well as we have played in the past. We always knew it was going to be a tough game against a very good, top-of-the-table Accrington side.
"I'm not sure whether we deserved it, I don't think we deserved to lose it really.
"I thought they started well. I thought we came into the game a lot more especially towards the last 10 minutes of the first half and then second half for some reason we just couldn't get going.
"The disallowed goal wrankles a bit because I felt that it was a perfectly good goal.
"We responded well and pushed for the equaliser but they were able to cope with everything we threw into their box today."

Portsmouth have signed former Blackpool forward Adda Djeziri.
Djeziri, 25, joined the Seasiders on a permanent deal last summer, but failed to make a single first-team appearance before moving to Scunthorpe United on loan for a spell.
He made four appearances for the League Two club, before returning to Blackpool where his contract was not renewed.
This will not be the Danish forward's first spell at Fratton Park, having signed for Portsmouth under Harry Redknapp in January 2008 before leaving in May of the same year.
Meanwhile, a further three players have left the Hampshire club, Thierry Racon and Ben Chorley leaving the club as well as Daniel Alfei returning to parent club Swansea after terminating his loan deal early.

Barcham Back In Training

Winger returns from injury
Pompey manager Joe Jordan has confirmed Andy Barcham will be back in contention for next weekend's away clash with Oxford United.
The former Scunthorpe winger returns after missing three weeks due to a knee injury.
Jordan told portsmouthfc.co.uk: "Andy was training with us today.
"So the encouraging thing for us is that he should be available for the game next weekend.
"It's come at a good time and we hope he returns on the same vein of form he was on before he picked up the injury, and it also gives me options now because the matches have been coming thick and fast.
"We've played four games in eleven days and it will take its toll on one or two players so I might have to change things, although we do have a fair few new faces in the squad now.
"I'm certainly not frightened of changing a winning side."
Meanwhile, the boss also confirmed central midfielder Simon Ferry is still around four weeks away with an ankle injury.
Elsewhere, left-back Nicky Shorey is nearing a recovery from a virus.
"Ferry has been at rehab and it's too soon to think about when to introduce him into any kind of training just yet.
"He's still undergoing scans as we go to make sure that he isn't doing too much in his desperation to get back as soon as he can.
"Nicky Shorey is not far away now.
"He picked up a wee virus that has totally floored him lately, so our only option was to have him stay home and rest up.
"So the noises we're getting from the treatment room are very good and very positive.
"Hopefully there will be hardly anyone in there now."

Winger the latest to arrive at Fratton
Pompey have completed the signing of winger James Fanchone on an 18-month deal.
The 33-year-old was a free agent after leaving Le Havre and will wear the number 19 shirt for the Blues.
He said: “I’m very happy to be here and I just want to start playing some games now.
“I’ve been sat on the bench at Le Havre and asked the manager if I could leave. He said yes and when I heard that Portsmouth were interested it was an easy decision.
“It’s a club with a massive fanbase and I can’t wait to show the supporters just what I can do.
“I’ll work hard and bring other people into play – hopefully I’ll also create a few goals to help the team climb the league.
“It feels like I’m coming in at a time when things are starting to look up, I look forward to being a part of that.”
Fanchone started his career at Le Mans, where he made 232 appearances before spells at Strasbourg and Lorient before signing for the Sky and Sea in the summer of 2011.

Portsmouth's second-half rally saw the League Two side shock Championship side Doncaster Rovers in a thrilling FA Cup third-round tie.
The hosts went ahead when Theo Robinson placed a shot low to convert James Husbands's left-wing cross.
Billy Sharp went close two times for Doncaster, before Wes Fogden's optimistic shot hauled Portsmouth level.
But Ricky Holmes's free-kick was met by Wade Elliott whose precision finish earned the Blues a place in the fourth round draw.

Portsmouth manager Joe Jordan told BBC Radio Solent:
"The form is good, but I'm looking at performances and I'm more than happy. If we perform similar to the way we have done today, we'll get results.
"I was really pleased that our result has reflected the performance.
"We were a little too negative with our possession in the first half but we stepped it up in the second and it's difficult for the opposition to stop us.
"It's the way I want to see the game played and the players are more than comfortable with accepting the challenge of playing expansive football. At the minute, it's all good."

Play-off chasers Portsmouth expect transfer-listed players Patrick Agyemang, Tom Craddock and Ryan Bird to agree to mutually terminate their contracts with the club soon.
And manager Joe Jordan has confirmed that two players have joined the club.
Defensive midfielder Sebastian Svard arrives from Wycombe Wanderers and centre half Wilson Souprayen who was without a club.
"Wilson will go straight into the squad for Saturday and will be pushing for a starting place with the other centre half's," said Jordan
"Sebastian gives us added reliability and mettle in the midfield. He's played for Arsenal, he's played in the Football League... and he'll give us good balance and depth."
The former QPR coach confirmed that there had been movement with all three transfer-listed players.
"Some of them might go through before the end of the weekend or perhaps early next week if they [the players] decide it's the right thing for them," said Jordan.
Ryan and Tom were summer signings, while Agyemang joined from Stevenage in February.
None of the three have been used regularly this season.
Jordan is keen to trim the squad to make way for more new signings during the January transfer window.
Portsmouth are 8th in League Two with for wins in their last five games.

Deals for duo
Pompey have signed ex-Toulouse midfielder Fodé Mansaré on a contract until the end of next season.
And Hamilton goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert will also be joining Fratton Park for 18 months.
Blues boss Joe Jordan said: “We were eager to bring Fodé in when we knew he was available because he’s a quality player who will help add an extra spark in the final third.
“He hasn't been in involved in football since he left France in 2011 and is hungry to play. He jumped at the chance to come here, which is a good sign.
“Cuthbert has been playing well for Hamilton this season and he'll provide some good competition for Keita in goal.”
Mansaré, 32, joined Toulouse from Montpellier in June 2005. He scored seven goals in 128 appearances for the French club and also represented the Guinea National side 44 times in his career.
Portsmouth Football Club can also confirm that Trevor Carson and .Kyle Hammond have terminated their loan deals with the club and returned to their parent clubs Bury and Ipswich respectively.

Portsmouth winger Ricky Holmes scored two goals for his side, who sent Southend United crashing to a second successive defeat.
Holmes' fired his first goal into the net just 7 minutes into the match when he was found in space by a Danny East cross.
But Pompey's lead was to be doubled nine minutes before half-time, with Southend defender Barry Corr penalised in his own box for a shove on César Lolohea and Holmes stepped up to coolly place the resulting penalty.
Freddy Eastwood grabbed what would only turn out to be a consolation goal for The Shrimpers after a deflected Brennan Dickenson shot fell into his path.
VIEW FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Portsmouth manager Joe Jordan told BBC Radio Solent:
"Defensively you look at us and you think we are almost as confident as we are going forward and that's something we are pleased about.
"We had two players in at 27 and 33 today so they are experienced enough to help out the young defenders. You're going to get times where players are high or low on confidence and at the moment it would seem like the lads are gaining that confidence back.
On the upcoming FA Cup fixture at Doncaster: "It's great to have one, you don't want to give it too much attention whilst you still have league games to play but we were professional today and we can now focus fully on trying to get as far as we can in the FA Cup."

Board Backing Jordan
PUBLISHED

Chairman says funds are available
Iain McInnes has confirmed Joe Jordan will be able to significantly restructure his squad in January.
The Pompey chairman has told the boss there is money available to bring in the players needed to continue to turn the club’s fortunes around, but insisted the investment was affordable, given the increased revenues the club has generated so far this season.
After a meeting between the chairman, manager and chief executive Mark Catlin, McInnes underlined the board’s determination to back their new manager in an exclusive interview with the official website.
He said: “As a board we took full account of our playing resources, specifically the inherited and ongoing injury count, as part of the managerial recruitment process.
“A priority for Joe and his staff has been to analyse resources in the full knowledge we had the January window to invest in our future and dispense with any threat of being dragged into a relegation battle, which would be simply unacceptable and irresponsible as a board should we allow it to happen.
“Fans have supported us in exceptional numbers this season and we are not only respectful of that commitment, but wish to recognise and maintain it.
“In the light of substantial cost savings, heightened commercial income and higher gate receipts than anticipated, we are able to repay that faith by supporting Joe in his player recruitment ambitions, which we are confident will match the expectations of you, the fans.
“However, fans can also be assured that the player salary budget we have set is affordable and in line with our financial projections. Joe has also agreed that there are some players who do not feature in his plans and they will be allowed to move on.
“We believe Joe, Steve [Kember] and the scouting team have already earmarked necessary players. There remains the challenge of actually signing them, but if all goes to plan, we anticipate a more successful second half of the season."

Midfielder to miss important games
Pompey have been rocked by the news that Simon Ferry will miss roughly 5 weeks.
The midfield maestro badly twisted his angle when turning away from a challenge during the clubs 1-1 League Two weekend draw with Northampton.
Ferry will also miss the FA Cup Third Round clash with Doncaster Rovers next weekend as well as the first leg of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy South Final against Swindon Town on Fabruary 5.
Ferry told portsmouthfc.co.uk: “I'm really disappointed..
“I realised at the time that something wasn't right but I told the gaffer that I felt OK to finish the game.
“If I'd come off it maybe wouldn't have been so bad but there is not much I can do about that now.
“Missing important games will annoy any player and I'm no different.
“Gary Fleming [club physio] is great at what he does. So I'll just do everything he tells me to and hope that it get's better before the original time scale..
“My position is one that we have plenty of players who can cover. Good player like Wes [Fogden], Romain [Padovani], Wade [Elliott], The new guy César [Lolohea] looks like a player and Jed [Wallace] can even fill in there.
"I'll be hoping I still have a place to come back to!"
