Manchester United’s U21s suffered a 3-2 defeat against Chelsea in the Premier League 2 on Friday night. Shola Shoretire was the star of the night as far as the Reds will be concerned after his two goals after the break.
Donnell McNeilly scored the first goal after half an hour played at Kingsmeadow for the Blues. He doubled their advantage before the break, too.
Shola Shoretire gave the United youths some hope as captain as he scored a brace inside six second-half minutes to level to scoring once more, however, Tyrique George’s late goal proved to be the winner for Chelsea on the night.
You can watch both goals from Shoretire below, with his first being the pick of the bunch. For his second he flicked the ball with his left and notched his second of the evening from the edge of the area.
