breakthrough.

United regained the passing rhythm but were unable to add to the scoreline, despite Barmby being reintroduced after going off for Luke Hendrie. Januzaj set up a couple of openings with some probing play and Hendrie dragged a shot wide before Joyce's youngsters were pegged back by a bolt out of the blue from Kristian Dennis, whose long-range piledriver flew past Sutherland.

United: Sutherland; Veseli, McCullough, Ekangamene, James; Januzaj, Giverin, Gladstony, Lawrence; van Velzen (Barmby 78), Barmby (Hendrie 59). Subs not used: Daehli, O'Hara.
