Chris Wilder celebrated his first win as Oxford United boss in style as The U’s romped past Ebbsfleet.
Lewis Haldane opened the scoring after 16 minutes when he fired into the roof of the net from the edge of the 18-yard box before James Constable made it two just four minutes later.
And Yemi Odubade ensured Wilder enjoyed a winning start at The Kassam Stadium with a 51st minute strike to avenge a 2-1 Boxing Day defeat to Salisbury.
Stacy Long grabbed a late consolation for Ebbsfleet but Phil Trainer notched a fourth and Alex Fisher bagged a fifth for The U’s with four minutes remaining.

And Jack Midson completed the comeback just two minutes later when he turned home Antonio Murray’s centre before Nathaniel Knight-Percival and Danny Wright sealed the victory.

On loan Peterborough striker Scott Rendell – in his second spell with the club – opened the scoring in the third minutes with his seventh goal in nine games.
But after a tepid second half, the match ended in controversy and Stevenage snatched a goal.

But Bartlett was on hand to palm away Tim Sills’ penalty and seal the victory.
Crawley 1 Eastbourne 0
Crawley moved into the relegation zone despite a less than convincing victory over Eastbourne Borough.
The Red Devils – who could be deducted Blue Square Premier league points for a fourth consecutive year for fielding an ineligible player – put their off the field troubles behind them as Jon-Paul Pittman gave them the lead.
