Derry's In A Sweat Over UCHE

Derry's In A Sweat Over UCHE

- Matthew Gooding

CAMBRIDGE United striker Uche Ikpeazu scored the goal that beat Colchester in a closely-fought encounter at the Cambs Glass Stadium – then left his manager Shaun Derry soaking wet.

Ikpeazu drove a powerful shot into the bottom corner in the 64th minute to give the U’s a deserved lead, then raced over to the dug-out to give his boss a “sweaty” hug.

Derry revealed afterwards that a conversation between the pair at half-time had paid dividends.

“The teams cancelled each other out in the first half, but we opened it up after half-time and looked a really good football team,” Derry said.
