Reserves book Lancashire Senior Cup semi-final spot

Manchester United progressed to the Lancashire Senior Cup semi-finals with a smash-and-grab raid at Blackpool.

A youthful side consisting largely of Under-18 players created only one real moment of danger on a dreadful surface at Bloomfield Road but made it count, with lone striker Scott McTominay notching his first goal for Warren Joyce's side.

Captain Dean Henderson made a stunning save on 16 minutes to fingertip a header by Uche Ikpeazu to safety but it was a rare moment of excitement during a scrappy first half. Ikpeazu remained the obvious threat throughout and looped a long-range effort into Henderson's grateful clutches and, when the keeper missed a Connor Oliver free-kick, it drifted wide of the far post.

Tyrell Warren survived a handball shout when blocking a rare shot as all the half-chances came the home side's way. Ikpeazu, on loan from Watford, forced another couple of stops out of Henderson after the break and Oliver had a header scrambled away from inside the six-yard box.

United struggled to trouble Kyle Letheren in the Seasiders' goal although the hard-working Oliver Rathbone launched an ambitious attempt from just inside the Blackpool half that was well off target.

Martin Paterson, one of the experienced campaigners in the hosts' line-up, mustered an overhead kick out of nothing that worked Henderson again before the breakthrough arrived on 71 minutes, against the run of play, soon after the introduction of Callum Gribbin off the bench.

Demi Mitchell's free-kick was cleared but Tyler Reid kept the pressure on with a visionary pass out to the wide man. Mitchell showed his skill to move into the box and a prodded shot forced a parry out of Letheren, to leave McTominay with the simplest of tap-ins from close range.

Paterson headed wide when United failed to clear and the excellent Ro-Shaun Williams made a decent block in injury time as Joyce's charges did enough to set up a last-four tie against Oldham Athletic with Everton already awaiting the victors in the final.

United : Henderson; El Fitouri, Williams, Reid, Warren; Scott, Whelan (Kehinde 61); Doughty (Gribbin 69), Rathbone, Mitchell; McTominay (Dearnley 85).
Subs not used : Dorrington, Buffonge.
Goals : Scott McTominay 70′
