Premier League 2 | Eppleton Colliery Welfare Ground | Scorer: Mitchell 49 (pen) Manchester United’s Under-23s returned to winning ways with a hard-fought narrow victory over Sunderland at Eppleton Colliery Welfare on Sunday afternoon. It was the first time Ricky Sbragia’s lads had a triumph to celebrate since the opening day of the season at Leicester City when, coincidentally, the Reds won 1-0 with a goal from Demetri Mitchell. The success brought to an end a run of seven Premier League 2 games without a win. It was a sunny and pleasant day in the north east as the game got underway, which was in stark contrast to the terrible conditions the clubs' Under-18 teams had to contend with at the Aon Training Complex twenty-four hours earlier when United won 2-1.
