Neil Ryan's young side were 2-0 up at half-time, through strikes from Charlie Wellens and Charlie McNeill, but actually went 3-2 down before eventually beating our arch rivals with two late goals from Joe Hugill.
Although performances and player development matter more than results at this level, nobody at United will mind seeing our Academy boys at the top of the Under-18 Premier League North after this dramatic and well-deserved victory.
