Former Sligo goalkeeper Ed McGinty was happy to be the Oxford hero after their Carabao Cup win against Swansea City.
Oxford progressed to the next round after needing a 93rd minute equaliser and McGinty transpired to be the hero in their penalty shootout.
McGinty recently joined Oxford on a three year deal and left Sligo on a high note as he was the hero in their penalty shootout against Bala Town.

And McGinty admits he had a tough start in English football, saying he was trying too hard to impress leading to a below par performance.
Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "I think I tried too hard because it was my debut and it was one of the worst halves of football I remember playing," he told the Oxford United website.
"But these things happen and you just have to get through it. I should have done better for both their goals but there's no point sulking, I knew I just had to get better in the second half."
And McGinty says manager Karl Robinson got a reaction out of him before he became the penalty hero.
"The gaffer had words with me and that was the right thing to do. He was looking for a reaction. He could have taken it easy on me but I don't need that.
"I am always honest about my own performance and I needed the gaffer to be honest with me as well. That made me feel better and I went out there determined to do well in the second half.
"When it went to penalties I definitely knew I was going to save at least one. I managed to do that and then Cameron delivered, as he always does."
