Mason Greenwood Dazzles for Manchester United vs. Chelsea in FA Youth Cup

Manchester United's under-18s defeated Chelsea 4-3 in the FA Youth Cup at Leigh Sports Village on Monday, and Mason Greenwood was the star of the show as he bagged a hat-trick.

It was the Blues' first defeat in the tournament since they lost in the 2012-13 final against Norwich City—they had won the Youth Cup in each of the following five seasons.

Greenwood opened the scoring after just eight minutes when he capitalised on a mistake from Chelsea goalkeeper Karlo Ziger. Tariq Lamptey equalised shortly before the break, but Greenwood netted again in the first minute of the second half, evading defender Marcel Lavinier before coolly picking out the bottom corner.
