Lucky in the way it falls to Baumann but he manages to tuck it away through the legs of two players.
Counter attacking is very incisive. 3-0

Good reflex save from Murdock at the near post.

Nice break again for Biancheri to score. Amazing how consistently the youth teams make the most of these breaks. Was the same with u-21s yesterday.
Some strong tackles from both sides in the opening half an hour.

Beautiful team goal.
Another good goal! These guys are running rampant .

While it’s 4-0 and we’ve been very good, Murdock has been one of our best players so far.
Not been that impressed with Plunkett thus far but boy is he rapid or what.

5-0 Plunkett! His first United goal, tidy finish. Brilliant assist for Fletcher.

Brilliant finish by Plunkett by the way!
5-0 . This is so good to watch and so galling that most of the kids games aren't televised.
Good job!
5-0 and Ibragimov and Lacey to come on in the second half
Still been one of our least impressive players in this half - his decison-making in the box is not great. He can dribble past 4 players - but there is no end-product.
His distribution is not bad neither
HT 5-0
Hope we get to see Ibragimov, Munro and Lacey in the second half. Well sure, Thwaites as well.

Thoroughly enjoyable half. Everyone did their jobs. Murdock came up with some crucial stops to keep Blackburn from scoring and we've been very clinical whenever we attacked.
3 assists from Fletcher - not bad
Yes, but him taking players on and his dribbling opens space for his teammates. See Baumann’s goal for example.
But yeah it’s quite natural that 16-year old wingers’ decision-making is not the best. That’ll come with time and more games.
3 assists for Tyler is that?
Another great performances from the U18's.
It's lovely to at least be able to watch a United team at some level who you can confidently expect to play well and wrack up the goals.

So close from Ibra. Good cross from Scanlon and the substitute heads it just wide.

Must say the left side of our defense have been a bit underwhelming. Kind of nitpicking, I must admit.
I agree. Although he scored a goal they're getting plenty of joy down Plunkett's side.

Munro replaces Plunkett. Kukonki moves to LB.

Yeah both him and Kukonki have been disappointing in possession in our build-up and a bit shaky defending.

6-0, Scanlon gets his second, assisted by Thwaites. Crisp passing again from United.

Very nice buildup for that goal. Nice composed finish by Scanlon on his left foot.

7-0 Kukonki. Think it’s his first at this level too.
