Gallery | Up and running in the Under-18 Premier League Cup!

Luca Williams-Barnett netted a sparkling hat-trick as our Under-18s ended Manchester United’s 100 per cent start to the season with a thrilling 4-3 win in the Premier League Cup on Saturday morning.

The young forward added to Ellis Lehane’s well-taken opener with two goals before the break – he was only denied a first-half treble by the woodwork – before emphatically firing home his third seven minutes into the second period to put us 4-0 up at Hotspur Way.

United fought back late on in the second half to reduce the deficit thanks to a Shea Lacey brace and a penalty from Gabe Biancheri, but Stuart Lewis' side saw the game out for their first win in the competition.
