Old Trafford
Monday, April 02, 2007, 7.30pm
Manchester United Youth 4 - 2 Arsenal Youth (Attendance: 8058)
Fagan 73 Gibbs 49
Bryan 90+3 Murphy 104
Brandy 108
Welbeck 116
█ Cathcart Rodgers, Randall, Francisco Merida Perez
帶著總比數0-1落後的情況下回到主場 (是在老特拉福比耶)
上半場互交白券，而且我們英格蘭U17的門將上場10分鐘就受傷被換下場
下半場開始沒多久就被進球，這使得總比數變成0-2落後
而下半場替補上場的Bryan在傷停補時的進球，讓雙方兩回合的總比數變2-2
因此進入加時賽，但曼聯也是先丟球，可之後再進兩球，精采逆轉啦!!
(以總比數為 4-3晉級總冠軍戰 \O/)
青年足總盃的總冠軍戰的對手將是 - Liverpool！！！！！

爵爺對青年隊另眼相看
本週一晚，曼聯U18將在老特拉福德嘗試逆轉阿森納1-0的領先優勢。爵爺表示：「我一
開始並不看好他們能拿青年足總杯。我認為他們還太小，太年輕。但其中一兩個球員，
過去幾個月在身體上發展得非常迅速。」
「像Sam Hewson和James Chester已經變成非常強壯的運動員。我們的年輕人進步得很快
。保羅-麥克吉尼斯發展這支球隊的工作非常出色。」
「現在我認為我們能夠贏得週一的比賽，進入決賽。我知道我們能夠進入，因為我們有
一支優秀的青年隊。這將是一場有趣的戰鬥。阿森納的孩子總是能夠得到好評，說他們
是最好的，但我不認為他們和我們的孩子一樣好。」
爵爺看好一位U18小將
曼聯U18今晚將迎戰阿森納，他對U18其中一位小將非常看好。不過他將不點名，擔心讓
他承當太大壓力。「我們有一個特別突出的年輕球員，他很有機會成為頂級球員，但我
不會告訴你他是誰。他還是個孩子。如果你能再通過一兩個考驗，你就表現得不錯。我
認為他們之中至少有6個人將在未來取得不錯的成就，希望是在曼聯。」
=== 賽後報導 ===
United's youngsters produced a stunning comeback to book their place in the
FA Youth Cup final with an incredible victory over Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Already a goal down from the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, United
recovered from falling behind twice at Old Trafford to see off the Gunners
in extra time.
A largely uneventful first half saw United frustrated by the visitors' ball
retention, and they were dealt an early blow when goalkeeper Ben Amos
suffered an arm injury and had to be replaced.
The Gunners dominated large portions of the first 45 minutes, and it was
little surprise when Steve Bould's side moved ahead four minutes after the
interval.
Kieran Gibbs scored the only goal of the first leg, and he struck again with
a simple finish early in the second half to give United a mountain to climb.
In true United fashion, however, Paul McGuinness' side came roaring back in
the latter stages and drew level on the evening through Chris Fagan with 18
minutes remaining.
Gunners goalkeeper Lee Butcher could only parry Sam Hewson's free kick and,
after Febian Brandy's follow-up had been blocked, Fagan was on hand to stab
the loose ball home.
Despite restoring parity, United were still trailing on aggregate and had to
chase another goal to take the game to extra time.
Hewson was denied by Butcher after a fine through ball from Danny Galbraith
as United finished the stronger of the two sides.
Just as it seemed the tie was over for United, substitute Antonio Bryan
struck in the third minute of added time to send the game into extra time.
Galbraith and Danny Welbeck combined well, with the latter showing great
composure to lay the ball off to Bryan, who sidefooted emphatically into the
far corner.
With Arsenal demoralised and United in the ascendancy, it came as little
surprise that McGuinness' side dominated the opening exchanges in extra time.
Against the odds, Rhys Murphy levelled the scores on the evening,
re-establishing his side's aggregate advantage with a neat finish over
Zieler a minute before half-time in extra time.
Such a setback could have been heartbreaking for United, but McGuinness'
gutsy youngsters dug in and were level again just after the resumption of
the game's final period.
Craig Cathcart's long ball forward arrived at Hewson's feet inside the area,
and his pull back was well converted by Brandy, despite the striker's loss
of balance and the presence of two defenders on the line.
Tired legs predictably saw the game's breackneck pace gradually diminish, but
United found enough strength within themselves to find a winner.
Again Galbraith was involved as his left-wing cross tempted Butcher off his
line, and Welbeck stole in between two defenders to glance home a brave
header.
It was a breathtaking culmination to a thrilling comeback from the
youngsters, who will now face Liverpool in the two-legged final in a
fortnight.

"We have got one outstanding player who has a magnificent chance of being a
top player, but I won't tell you who it is. He's just a boy. If you get one
or two through [the system] then you are doing well. I think at least half a
dozen of them will get good careers in the game, hopefully at United."
