Man Utd hit four goals in UYL win against Atalanta

Manchester United hit four goals against Atalanta in today's UEFA Youth League clash.

Against Atalanta on Wednesday afternoon, United enjoyed a 4-2 victory at Leigh Sports Village.

It was the visitors who struck first, Atalanta captain Simone Panada capitalised on a poor touch from Alejandro Garnacho to steal to ball and drill an effort into the bottom corner of the net.

However, Zidane Iqbal had level just minutes later before Garnacho drove a low cross to the back post where Joe Hugill slid in to force the ball over the line.

Garnacho then embarked on a dazzling solo run before curling a fine effort into the far corner of the net, a stunning effort.

After halftime, Alvaro Fernandez stormed down the left and crossed to substitute Omari Forson, who guided the ball into the bottom corner with his first touch of the match.

There was still time for Tommaso de Nipoti to pull a second goal back for the visitors before the fulltime whistle blew.
