Lund hits hat-trick as Salford defeat Man Utd in EFL Trophy thriller

Matt Lund scored a hat-trick for Salford City in their EFL Trophy win against Manchester United on Tuesday night.

Kobbie Mainoo started the game and laid on two assists as he continued his return from preseason injury.

Shola Shoretire put United ahead after good work from Mainoo.

Conor McAleny and Lund then had Salford ahead before Omari Forson and Shoretire made it 3-2 to United.

But Lund equalised from the spot on 87 minutes and completed his hat-trick with another penalty in stoppage time.

Mainoo was on the bench for United in Sunday's defeat to Manchester City.
