IN REVIEW: IRON 2-0 SHREWSBURY TOWN

6 October 2016

We continue our post-match web feature by looking at all the essentials from Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town in the Checkatrade Trophy.


The Iron were guaranteed a place in the last sixteen of the Northern Section of the Checkatrade Trophy following a 2-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town.

A goal in each half won the three points for United to remain top of Group G with Oliver Lancashire putting Conor Townsend's cross into his own net for 1-0, with Jonathon Margetts netting the second on his Scunthorpe debut.
