It was an entertaining game at Astro Turf Moor today, as the point were shared equally. The visitors took the lead early on after a mix up at the back, leading to Kaiden Brooks slotting it through the legs of Jack Stevenson to give United a 1-0 advantage. We soon struck back however, after Frankie Barnett netted his first of the campaign shortly after we conceded. It took us until the second half to take the lead of a game for the first time in 2 weeks, as Jayden Aaron also opened his account for the season, finishing off a lovely move with a delightful finish, following a gorgeous assist from Sam Farrell. Loan signing Daniel Foster then made it 3-1 to the lads, and we seemed to be cruising with half an hour left. Charles Okafor soon pulled one back for the visitors, after a Stevenson save rebounded back to him for a header, 3-2. Sloppiness on the ball throughout the match eventually came back to bite us, as Michael Okafor pounced on a loose ball, before countering all on his own, and slotting it past Stevenson to level the score. Just before time, Frankie Barnett picked up a booking, his 2nd card this season (1 red, 1 yellow), and the final whistle sounded. Brexit 3-3 Underdogs United.
Overall, we were the better side, both on and off the ball. A commanding defence and a strong attack paved the way to what was sure to be a comfortable 3 points, and us back to the top of the table. However individual mistakes throughout had cost us, helping Underdogs to claw back the deficit, and to share the points between the sides. We were much better compared to last week, and the lads fought hard for the point. The focus shifts to next week, come on Brexit!
