Facey Brace In Reserves Win

He bagged a first half brace in the 3-0 win at Barnsley this afternoon. The first came in the 27th minute, scoring from the rebound of his own shot that hit the woodwork. He was on target again 2 minutes before half time with Paul Anderson assisting.

Ashley Allanson wrapped it up a minute from time, catching out the goalkeeper with a quickly taken free kick.

Earlier on, Marc Joseph had to go off just 23 minutes into his comeback from injury, making him look doubtful to recover in time for Saturday.

City line-up: Duke; Joseph (Wilkinson 23), Byron, Hinds, Matthews; Wiseman, Fry, Allanson, Anderson; Facey, Allsopp.
Un-used subs: Donaldson, Hotte, McGarry, Briggs.
