Default Re: Man United U-23 Matches 2017/18

RESERVES : TOTTENHAM 3 UNITED 0

Premier League 2 | Lamex Stadium, Stevenage | Scorers: Edwards 11, Tanganga 13, Pritchard 25

Manchester United's Under-23s suffered defeat at Tottenham with all the damage done inside the opening 25 minutes at Stevenage's Lamex Stadium.

On the plus side, Luke Shaw played the full 90 match and James Wilson lasted 78 minutes as they stepped up their bid for full fitness.

Marcus Edwards was allowed to set his sights on goal from outside the box and duly curled a left-footer around Theo Richardson for the opener. Around 100 seconds later, Joe Pritchard's corner set up Japhet Tanganga for a towering downward header beyond Richardson to double the lead.

When Shaw was robbed of possession in the 25th minute, the situation worsened with Timothy Eyoma slipping in Pritchard, who was in acres of space and cut inside to slip the ball under an exposed Richardson.

United looked shell shocked until finishing the half on a positive note with Ethan Hamilton forcing a save out of Brandon Austin and Wilson miscuing an Indy Boonen centre. Yet Spurs came out of the traps quickly again in the second half and Shilo Tracey should have scored when firing a great chance wide.

Tracey was off target again before Edwards skipped through the heart of the defence to force a decent save out of Richardson. By now, the visitors were also creating chances but Josh Bohui's shot did not have enough power to beat Austin when Boonen robbed Oliver Skipp and Scott McTominay failed to direct a header from a Demi Mitchell corner.

Wilson started to come into the game and he had a couple of attempts, while Mitchell blazed over following some more good work by the bright Boonen. Austin's diving stop to deny Wilson in the 75th minute looked to kill off any flickering hopes of a comeback, and the home keeper also blocked a Boonen header at his near post.

Shaw collected a late booking and Matthew Olosunde was denied a consolation that the second-half display deserved when his shot from a Mitchell pull-back crashed against an upright.

United: Richardson; Olosunde, Warren, Tuanzebe, Shaw; Hamilton, McTominay; Bohui, Boonen, Mitchell; Wilson (Buffonge 78). Subs not used: M. Johnstone, Sang, Scott, Whelan.
