FC United 6- 0 Nelson

A 100-per-cent record from Stuart Rudd and a sensational run-out from Rory Patterson were the match highlights, said manager Karl Marginson.
Speaking after United's 6-0 win over Nelson, he said all his players were superb and hard to criticise, though finishing could improve.
He said: "To be honest, I've always known that kind of performance was there. The players we have here have bags of potential.
"They all worked very hard in pre-season and their fitness levels are very satisfying.
"Nelson were quite good for the first 10 minutes and caused us a few problems, but I thought after that there was only one team in it and we had them pressed back.
"Then in the second half when they wouldn't venture out of their own half, I think they didn't want to be on the end of a hammering."
He added: "If I had one criticism of our play, it would be the finishing. We created lots and lots of chances tonight and could have scored even more.
"But I'm not going to criticise my players after that kind of performance. Nugent and Chadwick were superb, as were the full backs, the central midfield, the two lads up front and the 'keeper. "Rory was absolutely superb. His work rate was brilliant and his finishing tonight was even better. It doesn't surprise me though because I see what he does in training every week. And he can get even better throughout the season.
"I was pleased Stuart got another goal. That's two in two and he's kept up his 100 per cent record. The finish was brilliant and he could have had about six tonight."
