Sam Hewson struck twice for United as the Under-18s continued their
excellent run of form in the FA Youth Cup with a 2-0 quarter final
victory over Birmingham at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
The Reds now face a two-legged semi final against Arsenal, with an away
trip to the Emirates Stadium first up. Newcastle meet Liverpool in the
other last four tie.
The result means Paul McGuinness' side still haven't conceded in the
competition this season, having beaten Scunthorpe (3-0), Southampton
(2-0) and Crystal Palace (2-0) on the road to Wednesday's triumph over
Birmingham.
United started the stronger of the two teams and, but for two outstanding
saves from Blues goalkeeper Artur Krysiak to deny Danny Welbeck and Danny
Galbraith, the Reds would have taken an almost immediate lead.
But the home team's early pressure quickly paid off. On 15 minutes tricky
winger Welbeck produced some neat footwork on the right flank before
crossing into the box, where midfielder Hewson was on hand to thump the
ball home from just inside the area, sending his shot high into the roof
of the net.
Birmingham came into the game just before half time with Sone Aluko hitting
an incredible shot from 25 yards, which produced an equally excellent save
from Ben Amos. The young United goalkeeper had to be at full stretch to tip
the ball over the bar.
After the break the Midlanders pushed hard for equaliser, but despite plenty
of possession they couldn't find the end product.
United secured the win when Krystian Pearce brought down Febian Brandy
inside the box after a jinking run from the Reds striker. Hewson stepped
up to seal the tie with a well executed spot-kick.
