Standout striker settles Swansea City's trip with early header at Oxford United | OneFootball

Zan Vipotnik decided it in the 13th minute with a glancing header, giving Swansea City a 1-0 win at Oxford United.

He attacked a Josh Tymon set-piece delivery and guided his header into the bottom left corner, a precise finish that put the visitors in control early on.

He then linked play on the break, releasing Eom Ji-Sung for a left-side chance that the forward lifted over from inside the box (37.).

Vipotnik stayed dangerous after the restart, drawing a central save with another header from a Melker Widell cross (80.). He finished with two attempts, both on target, nine touches in the box and four aerials won, underlining a complete target-man display.

With consistent wide service from Tymon and Widell, his movement onto crosses kept Oxford United pinned and gave Swansea City a reliable outlet whenever they transitioned.

Swansea City rise from 20th to 18th in the Championship. Oxford United drop from 21st to 22nd. Swansea City host West Bromwich Albion next. Oxford United visit Ipswich Town next.
