Sheffield United striker Louie Marsh struck a second consecutive hat-trick for the U21s this week.

Marsh scored his treble against Bristol City, having done the same against Ipswich last week.

The 19 year-old is yet to make his senior Blades debut and manager Paul Heckingbottom says: “It is a big step, but it's up to him.

“He's got to play well. Look at the opposition [in the U21s] and the opposition we've faced so far, against Palace and Forest. Totally different.

“But the opportunities are there, we've started with Will (Osula), and Antwoine (Hackford) and Brooksy (Andre Brooks) have come on. They know they'll get an opportunity, so it's just about playing well and taking the chances when they come up."
