Britcon and The Hunt Group were proud to be match sponsors in a game that saw Manchester United just edge past The Iron into the fourth round of The Carling Cup.

Scunthope United stunned the travelling Manchester United fans through scoring the first goal through Josh Wright but were then given a lesson in class by Michael Owen's double, a first goal for Manchester United for Chris Smalling and efforts from Darron Gibson and Ji-sung Park.

It wasn't however all one way traffic from the moment Gibson equalised - Tomasz Kuszczak was kept busy throughout the game, making countless saves before he unluckily conceded a deflected second goal, for Martyn Woolford, in injury time.

Still there were nine senior internationals in Manchester United's eleven - plenty of quality to excite the sell-out 9,000-plus crowd at Scunthorpe's Glanford Park.

An early effort on target from Scunthorpe United midfielder Woolford found the palms of Manchester United's keeper Kusczak, he was comfortably beaten by Scunthorpe's stunning opener in the 19th minute. Woolford was the architect, ferrying the ball across the edge of the area before laying it off for Wright to fire a scorching drive into the top left-hand corner.
