DARREN Way says Yeovillived the dream againstManchester United, despite crashing out of the FA Cup at Huish Park.
There are 86 league places between the two teams and it showed as goals from Marcus Rashford, Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Romelu Lukaku comfortably saw Jose Mourinho’s men book their place in the fifth round.
While the Glovers impressive Cup run may be over for another year, they can take heart from a spirited performance. Outplayed at times, outnumbered on the break – but never outfought.
Yeovil started well and Jordan Green came close to opening the scoring inside seven minutes but his goalbound effort was blocked by the legs of goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
Green, a supermarket shelf stacker just three years ago, caused Italy international Matteo Darmian all sorts of problems with his pace in the early stages.
Jake Gray stepped up after the winger was tripped and although his free-kick beat United’s high line, 6ft 6in Omar Sowunmi could only direct a tame header straight at Romero.
