FC United endured an afternoon to forget as they slumped to their fourth defeat of the season at Chorley on Saturday.

Ben Deegan was shown a straight red card late into the 2-0 loss while Matthew Wolfenden, Kyle Jacobs and Steve Torpey all picked up injuries.

United went behind six minutes before half-time top a Lee McEvilly penalty, and Andrew Teague doubled the Magpies’ lead two minutes after the restart.

United were in action against Nantwich at Gigg Lane last night, ahead of Saturday’s home FA Cup clash with Woodley Sports.
