Back came United again and Dobson hit his second to make it 3-2, but the result was put beyond doubt when Liam Sugden calmly rounded Hyde and tapped in to hand Town the 4-2 victory, much to the delight of boss Brannan.

Brannan said: "We dominated the game and played well, but I wasn't happy with the goals we gifted them.

"We really should've won that game 5-0 or 6-0, but we got the win and we play them again next week so we'll need to be better for that game."
