42′ Manchester City 2-0 Salford

Two of Salford’s closest scoring chances, within about 30 seconds of each other! Jack Grealish tackled veteran Matt Lund, 34, and awarded a free-kick, though it looked like a fair challenge.

Girish said that decisionFutile Stupid’, somehow avoiding a yellow card for this disagreement with ref Josh Smith. However, Salford passed it to the talented Habib Adelakun, whose brilliant cross deflected off Simpson-Pacey.

But Quasi couldn’t convert it from close range! Then in the second phase, a lovely ball from Adelkon found the hard-working Lund in the box, who left it for Berkway to… cut well.
