Seven minutes into the second half and City had a third goal when George Thomas found Ben Stevenson who beat Ramsdale in the United goal.

The Blades pulled a goal back with a 59th minute Ben Whiteman penalty but in the 74tn minute, George Thomas raced on to a Maycock pass and scored the fourth goal for City.
