Anton Palmer found some space in a rare attack for the visitors as we reached the final twenty minutes. The Middlesbrough man took aim with a powerful drive that was held well by Byrne-Hughes.
But Lawrence’s side asserted some dominance following the flurry of changes, with Fletcher playing a delightful pass that found Scanlon in acres of space. He drove at goal before tucking home the equaliser at Carrington.
Our turnaround was complete just ten minutes later, with Ibragimov hauled down inside the area, earning our young Reds a spot-kick and a chance to flip the scoreline around.
Thwaites took on the responsibility – blasting his penalty past Lloyd with real conviction and with much to the joy of his team-mates.
The scoring was complete in added time, as a flowing counter-attack saw Scanlon blast home his second of the evening – with the prize a well-warranted three points, as the full-time whistle sounded shortly after.
