Leeds United U18s 4-4 Manchester United U18s
Hatfield 12 (pen), 69 - Wootton 3
Watson 37 - Brady 53
Jones 86 - King 61
Tunnicliffe 83
It wasn't a game that the defenders and goalkeepers involved will look back
upon fondly, but everyone else was treated to a terrific spectacle at Thorp
Arch this morning as United's U18s and their hosts Leeds shared eight goals
in a feisty, thrilling encounter. The Reds took an early lead through Scott
Wootton's header but found themselves trailing 2-1 at the break as the home
side took control, Will Hatfield (from the penalty spot) and Adam Watson
finding the target.
Some deft substitutions from Paul McGuinness saw United turn the game on its
head again early in the second half, Robbie Brady's freekick drawing them
level before Joshua King put the finishing touches to a great team move to
put the Reds ahead. Some good fortune with the bounce of the ball saw the
sides exchange goals, Hatfield first equalising for Leeds before Ryan
Tunnicliffe got what he hoped would be the winner seven minutes from time.
That wasn't to be though, Sam Jones curling home a terrific free-kick three
minutes later to earn his side a share of the points - a deserved outcome
after a terrifically entertaining match.
