Oxford
managed to get their name into the hat for the third round draw of
the FA Cup in dramatic circumstances with a 3-3 draw at Accrington
Stanley. The two sides were level at 1-1 after 80 minutes, but a
frantic final stage saw them share four goals and a 94th-minute
equaliser for United from this season's scapegoat of choice, Michael
Raynes. But it came at the cost of both JP Pittman and Andy Whing,
both of whom had to be stretchered off having only recently recovered
from long injury layoffs. And the remarkable events of the day were
overshadowed by the death of Mitchell Cole at the tragically young
age of 27. RIP Mitchell.
