Kieron Cadogan’s first-half winner kept the Surrey side firmly in the automatic promotion race, with the U’s boss acknowledging the importance of the three points gained.

“If we can keep ourselves near the top of the table over the next four or five games, then that sets us up nicely for the final stretch,” he said. “This is the first time in my managerial career I have won here, so it shows how hard a place this is to get a result.
