Head coach Ben Wilkinson hailed ‘a real team performance’ as City swept into the FA Youth Cup quarter finals with a dominant 5-0 fifth round win over Fleetwood Town at the Academy Stadium.

Justin Oboavwoduo led the way with a fine hat trick with Matty Whittingham and Will Dickson also on target.

But for Wilkinson, he felt all of his players delivered on what was a thoroughly professional and accomplished display with keeper George Murray Jones also saving a first half penalty when the score was only 1-0.

“In this competition it’s all about getting through to the next round but I thought we played well,” Wilkinson asserted.

“It was a game we were expected to win but they can always be tricky, soI thought overall we were pretty good tonight.

“Justin is a goal scorer and he’ll be delighted to get his three goals, but I thought it was a real team performance.

“I thought everyone did their job and what we asked them to do. They stuck to the messages, so it was a pleasing night from a team perspective.”
