WYCOMBE boss Gareth Ainsworth said he was “immensely proud” of his leaders, despite their derby defeat at Oxford.
Wanderers had to play for more than an hour with ten men after striker Adebayo Akinfenwa was sent off in the 26th minute for clashing with John Mousinho as players argued about a foul by Alex Gorrin on Scott Kashket.
The U’s claimed all three points thanks to James Henry’s 11th goal of the season three minutes earlier.
Wycombe remain seven points clear at the top, with Peterborough now second after they leapfrogged Ipswich.
Ainsworth said: “I’m so proud of the performance of my team. We had a mountain to climb with ten men.
“I asked my team at half-time if they could come up with another clean sheet in the second half to give us a chance.
“And I’ve said to them in the dressing room afterward ‘that will do for me’ because it was a performance of great heart and togetherness.
