U21s INTO QUARTER-FINALS
Our Under-21s progressed into the Premier League 2 play-off quarter-finals with a 4-2 win over Everton at Leigh Sports Village last Friday night.
The visitors had led after just 37 seconds, through Martin Sherif, who netted another after Ethan Wheatley’s well-taken 10th-minute leveller.
The United striker, who became the club’s 250th Academy graduate last April, scored a second equaliser of the night, shortly after half-time, as the young Reds pressed high up the pitch.
Tyler Fletcher’s edge-of-the-box shot from a Sekou Kone pass put Travis Binnion’s side ahead and the latter then benefited from a significant deflection to further extend the advantage.
