Reds Get Back To Winning Ways

FA Academy Premier League
Manchester United 2
Manchester City 1
Carrington, 1 October, 2005

After their unbeaten run ended last weekend with defeat to Wolves, United's Under-18s got back on track on Saturday by beating Manchester City 2-1 at Carrington.

Second half strikes from Fraizer Campbell and Sean Evans secured the win over United's Manchester neighbours.

Evans' strike came ten minutes into the second half, while Fraizer Campbell completed the scoring in the 73rd minute.

The Reds leapfrog City in Academy League Group C (the North-west England division) and move into second place, just a point behind Liverpool who lost at the weekend in their Derby with Everton. Blackburn continue to lead the way, five points ahead of United.

Academy coach Paul McGuinness has a young group of players to work with this season, but his side had started the campaign with an unbeaten run of five matches.

Last weekend, however, they suffered their first defeat - a 3-2 loss away to Wolves.

McGuinness' young group makes victory over City, a physically strong side, even more pleasing.

United: Zieler; Rose, Shawcross, J. Evans, Lee; Mullan, Gibson, Hewson, Gray; Campbell, S. Evans.
Subs not used: Chester, Crockett (GK), Fagan, Marsh.
