Despite Joe Hugill's second-half strike to draw our young Reds level midway through the second period, the Blues scored twice inside the final ten minutes to ensure victory for the visitors.
Kobbie Mainoo and Mateo Mejia both went close during the first half, while Marc Jurado's late free-kick narrowly evaded the target, as we battled well throughout the contest.
United began the game brightly in the opening exchanges, with Dan Gore's attacking impetus down the left flank enabling Kobbie Mainoo to be found inside the area. His effort at goal was, however, just a little too high.
