Scanlon started the second half just how he began the first. Musa seized possession high up the pitch and quickly laid the ball off to our no.11, who curled in an effort from a tight angle just two minutes after the restart.
Substitute Chido Obi-Martin, introduced on the hour mark, quickly set about teeing up Ibragimov’s second, evading his marker before invitingly fizzing the ball across the line for the midfielder to confirm our sixth.
Minutes later, Ibragimov was back among the action, benefitting from another substitute’s delivery in Samuel Lusale, helpfully tipped on by Grainger, before falling to our no.10 to slot home at the back post, sealing United’s seventh and his own hat-trick in the process.
Not content with just one Red taking home the match ball from the trip, Scanlon popped up seconds later to turn home the rebound of another Obi-Martin effort, registering a hat-trick of his own with the young Reds’ final goal of the day.
