MCI - Bony 74'
SHU - Townsend 45', 78', 81', 85'
MOTM: Townsend
Match Summary: Townsend stood over a kick from just outside the box and he hit it at the wall but he found a gap that had opened up and it squeezed through and settled in the back of the net. Silva sent a corner to the back post and El Ghazi headed it off the crossbar where it rebounded straight to Bony who easily put it into the goal for the equalizer. Townsend stood over another free kick from almost the exact same spot and with his next kick of the ball he curled it over the wall and into the top right corner. Just 3 minutes later Townsend got the ball on the right and used his body to hold off Otamendi as he attacked the goal and powered a shot past the keeper on the near post to complete his hat trick. It turned out he wasn't done at 3. Dickenson got free down the left and saw Townsend running at the back post and he slid the ball across for him to tap it in on the open goal.

SHU - Cameron 79'
MOTM: Cameron
Match Summary: In a truly defensive performance for both sides, no was able to separate themselves until late in the game. With just 11 minutes to go, Cameron got the ball on the left and beat his man to get around the edge and rather than send a cross in he cut inside himself and worked his way to the middle before using his right foot to power a shot past the keeper into the right side of the goal.

Abraham stepped up and buried his shot into the top left corner. Dickenson made a horrible mistake when instead of heading the ball clear, he headed it back towards his own goal where Williams tried to send it across but the keeper dove out and pushed it away only to see it fall right to Lucas for the easy shot into the open net.
