Joey Barton savoured the moment of celebration as Bristol Rovers returned to winning ways with a commanding 3-0 win at Oxford United on Saturday.
Both teams were in terrible form heading into the game, but Rovers were much the better side and romped to victory amid a toxic atmosphere with the home fans calling for manager Karl Robinson to be sacked.
While Oxford were hapless, Rovers were ruthless and they went ahead midway through the first half when a penalty won by Lamare Bogarde was coolly converted by Scott Sinclair. Sinclair then turned provider soon after and laid on a pinpoint cross for Aaron Collins to double the lead.
