Sunderland Youths 1 Manchester United Youths 2 (after extra time)
A goal from United's Fabien Brandy in the 114th minute handed Sunderland FA Youth Cup heartbreak in Durham.
The Black Cats pushed their illustrious opponents all the way until the away side won it in extra-time - and even then Sunderland could have hit back.
United went ahead in the 15th minute through a debatable penalty. Trevor Carson clashed with Fraizer Campbell and the referee pointed to the spot. Sam Hewson converted with a low show.
Sunderland responded well with Liam Connolly and Craig McFarlane going close before half-time.
The Black Cats were the better side in the second half and McFarlane grabbed a deserved equaliser five minutes from time with a strike from 22 yards.
But United won it in extra-time despite Sunderland creating a couple of good chances.
Michael Liddle could have grabbed a second equaliser right at the end.
