FC United of Manchester claimed a thumping 4-1 win over Hucknall Town in front of 1,883 supporters at Gigg Lane. Goals from Mike Norton, Jerome Wright, Matthew Wolfenden and Jake Cottrell were enough to give the Red Rebels maximum points.

Karl Marginson's men bagged a fourth successive win in style.

After a disappointing start to the season, Little United sit only nine points off the play-off pack and have games-in-hand over a number of their opponents.

The Rebels built on wins over Ashton United, Bradford Park Avenue and Retford United with Saturday's win.

Norton latched onto Wright's pass after five minutes to break the deadlock, before the visitors levelled through Joe Pheasant’s header.

Wright's chip put United back ahead before the break as he continued his fine run of goalscoring form. Wolfenden's neat finish and Cottrell's long-range effort sealed the points after half-time.

Marginson's side return to action on Tuesday evening at Kendal Town. This win took the Gigg Lane outfit up to 13th in the table and United have as many as six games in hand over some clubs.
