Match Summary
|
Downie – a £16,500 reserve, in for the injured Pearson – makes the difference. His pass sets up Mitten, then his drive nearly breaks the net. A Harris run and shot reduces the arrears, but within a minute of the restart Delaney rams in from close and United are off to Chelsea in round 6.
