Adam Birchall on big Southampton win

Related Topics: Adam Birchall, Dan Casey

Under-18s head coach Adam Birchall was delighted with our performance in a big 5 - 2 win over Southampton on Saturday.

Despite going a goal down after 16 minutes, we equalised just ten minutes later through Dan Casey.

Two more goals from Casey secured his hat-trick and put us in control before the midfielder turned provider to set up Zecevic-John for our fourth.

The Saints pulled a goal back from a set piece in the 86th minute, but we showed our character once again with a stoppage time goal from substitute Alex Marciniak.

On the performance…

“Yeah I said to the boys that we should be pleased with the scoreline, obviously winning the game but also to score five goals is really pleasing.
