The home side had led for the majority of the game through Greg Leigh’s first half strike, before the Seasiders levelled the scores in the 92nd minute.
Blackpool started the slower of the two teams, but grew into the match, and ultimately deserved their point.
The first real chance of the game came just after the half hour mark, with Leigh getting on the end of a free kick into the box.
The header from the Oxford man went straight into the hands of Dan Grimshaw, and had no real power to beat the Seasiders keeper.
Shortly after, another opportunity came the way of Leigh, with the 29-year-old taking full advantage this time.
The fullback was left unmarked in the box, and was able to find space to side-foot a volley into the bottom corner, after a cross from the right side.
At the beginning of the second half, Jordan Rhodes had his first real half chance of the game, but couldn’t get enough power on his show as he tried to lob Beadle.
Meanwhile, down the other end Billy Bodin fired an effort over the bar from the edge of the box, as he looked to double his side’s lead.
Blackpool began to look brighter as the game went on, but still couldn’t test the Oxford keeper, with headers from substitute Shayne Lavery and James Husband both off target.
In the latter stages, Rhodes fired two attempts off target, as well as seeing another saved by Beadle, before finally getting his name on the scoresheet.
Here’s how the Seasiders performed:

8. Kenny Dougall- 7
Kenny Dougall's main responsibilities mainly came in defence. The midfielder was pretty solid on the whole, but did make a couple of clumsy challenges. Photo: CameraSport - Rob Newell
9. Sonny Carey- 6

10. CJ Hamilton- 6
It was a quiet afternoon on the whole for CJ Hamilton. The wing-back had one bright moment during the first half, but nothing came from his determination down the left side. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
11. Kylian Kouassi- 6
Kylian Kouassi was contained on the whole by the Oxford defence, with the attacker unable to get any real freedom. There was a clear lack of service for both him and Jordan Rhodes. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
12. Jordan Rhodes- 8
Jordan Rhodes missed a couple of chances before eventually scoring the equaliser. He kept his head, and remained alert. His importance to the Seasiders at the moment can't really be measured. Photo: CameraSport - Rob Newell
