Oxford United were held to a draw at Halifax in last night's Nationwide Conference encounter at The Shay.

Striker Marvin Robinson fired United ahead on 48 minutes, with his second league goal, following a goalmouth scramble.

However, a defensive mistake on 71 minutes allowed Martin Forrest to fire home after he controlled the ball well in the area before slamming the ball past Billy Turley in the Oxford goal. Late on, only a brilliant piece of defending from the impressive Luke Foster prevented Halifax snatching an unlikely win.
