Cambridge United 5-0 Port Vale

  • Published

Cambridge finished their League Two campaign by crushing Port Vale in Joe Dunne's first game in permanent charge.

The hosts were rampant from the moment they took the lead 12 minutes before half-time when Jake Carroll's dinked pass into the box was met by David Amoo, who swivelled well to power home.

Cambridge doubled their lead only two minutes later when a close-range scramble resulted in Harrison Dunk firing into the roof of the net.

Port Vale almost reduced the deficit 10 minutes after the break as Luke Hannant, a former Cambridge academy player, flicked Michael Tonge's corner fractionally wide.

Brad Halliday scored the pick of the goals after 68 minutes, striding forward and unleashing a stunning effort which flew across Sam Hornby and into the top corner.

Substitute Barry Corr lashed home from a George Maris corner 16 minutes from the end before Billy Waters' fine finish, as he cut into the box to complete the rout four minutes later.
