League One club Oxford left stranded after antibacterial spray sidelines bus driver

League One side Oxford United were left stranded on Saturday after their bus driver was unable to transport them to their game against Accrington Stanley.

The driver was unable to even start the bus after antibacterial spray, used as part of coronavirus protocols, lead to the vehicle being locked as a result of detecting alcohol in the air.

Without a bus, Oxford had to use taxis and their own cars to get to the game, which they remarkably ended up winning 4-1 despite only just making it to the ground on time.
