U19s DRAW WITH RANGERS

20th April 2007

A hotly disputed last minute penalty allowed Rangers to level the game at 3-3 after hardly being in the game for almost 60 minutes.

Even then, the young United U19 side had a shot blocked on the line to deny them a last gasp, but deserved, victory.

United took the lead in only 5 minutes through an own goal, before the outstanding Johnny Russel scored twice to put them 3-0 up after 57 minutes.

Up to that point Rangers, challenging for the league title, had hardly threatened all afternoon.

Lennon clawed one back in 67 minutes and United's lead was reduced to 3-2 when Rangers were awarded a soft penalty three minutes from the end.

A home victory looked certain until the referee awarded a second and hotly disputed penalty right at the end of regulation time.

In added time, United had a shot blocked on the line to deny them all three points.
