EFL Trophy: Stockport v United Under-21s

Manchester United Under-21s are up and running in the EFL Trophy, after winning a penalty shootout when our opening Group E game away to Stockport County ended 1-1.

Charlie McNeill, Shola Shoretire, James Nolan, Ethan Williams and finally Ethan Wheatley all scored from the spot, while goalkeeper Elyh Harrison pulled off a brilliant save to deny the home side's Ryan Rydel.

There were also two penalties in the second half, one for each team. Joe Hugill's kick, earned by substitute Williams, was saved but the no.52 calmly slotted the rebound past County 'keeper Jordan Smith to give United a 64th-minute lead as the contest improved following a goalless first 45.
