Oxford United defeated Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 at the Kassam Stadium, despite both teams being relegated from the Championship. Will Lankshear scored twice, with his first goal coming in the sixth minute, courtesy of a skillful flick past the goalkeeper.
He doubled the lead with a 25-yard shot into the top corner. Will Vaulks made it three with a powerful left-footed shot, before substitute Will Grainger pulled one back for the Owls. However, Myles Peart-Harris quickly restored Oxford's three-goal advantage. The victory marks a positive note for Oxford, who had their relegation confirmed earlier in the day.
Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, is still searching for their second win of the season. Oxford's manager, Matt Bloomfield, expressed mixed emotions, citing disappointment at the season's outcome but also pride in the team's performance and the supporters' reception. Sheffield Wednesday's manager, Henrik Pedersen, attributed his team's poor performance to fatigue and a lack of connection between players.
