Match Review: Manchester United U21s 4-2 Norwich City U21s

What's the Mather with you?

Sam Mather, pictured above, led United to glory at home to Norwich as the youngster bagged all four goals to give United a deserved three points.

Mather converted a lofted cross from Scanlon near the back post to get things started, before adding a second with a beautiful free kick from 30 yards out - nestled into the top right corner.

Scanlon played assist maker again, cutting in and shooting in a manner Antony could only dream of, before Mather poked home the rebound to secure his hat-trick.

Norwich ended the half with something of a consolation goal, finding success down United's right flank and managing to get the ball in to striker Ken Aboh's feet before he hit hard and low past Mee.

The second half was a more resigned, stagnant affair with both sides dropping intensity, but the game woke back up with Mather's fourth; a lovely pass across the box to the unmarked forward. Mather brought it forward back towards the Norwich defence before curling his shot off the inside right post to make it 4-1.

A mix-up between keeper Mee and player/coach Tom Huddlestone led to a goalmouth scramble and a 2nd goal for Norwich, knocked in by Aidan Manning, but that fluke was the last flashpoint of the half as the game fell back into the same early half rhythms and finished 4-2.

In what was a very even game based on possession, shots, fouls, passing accuracy, United came out on top and are now 10th in the U21 league. United have 17 points now and a +12 goal difference, leaping Norwich City, Chelsea and Sunderland each by just one point.
