Mark Harris then finished a fast break to make it two (71.), converting Brian De Keersmaecker's square ball through the middle.
Abdul Fatawu pulled one back late for The Foxes (84.), sweeping home after substitute Luke Thomas, on at half time, recycled a corner.
Jamie Cumming preserved the Oxford lead with sharp stops late on, denying Patson Daka's header and tipping over Fatawu's long range effort.
