This victory stretched United's winning sequence to five league games and served asfurther confirmation that a Premier League placing under reconstruction was to be theirs for the taking.

Iain McDonald completed an exciting opening twenty minutes when he restored United's lead and a Paul Hegarty addition took United in at the break in a comfortable postion.
