The U23s were away to Boro in Premier League 2 at Bishop Auckland's Heritage Park home and scored two second half goals to complete our derby double.

After a tame first half which United shaded, they took the lead in the 57th minute thanks to a low drive into the corner of the net by Elliot Anderson - his sixth reserve goal in all competitions.

Tom Allan then doubled the lead in the 64th minute running onto a perfectly weighted through ball from Anderson and side-footing home to extend his seasonal league and cup tally to 17 this season.

The hosts were reduced to ten men in the fifth minute of added time when Nathan Wood was dismissed for hauling back Yannick Toure who was through on goal.

A third successive league win and clean sheet for the U23s moves them up to a season high sixth spot, raising hopes of snaring a promotion playoff spot in their four remaining fixtures.

There was a return for midfielder Kyle Scott following groin surgery but Elias Sorensen was still suspended after his red card in the Tyne-wear derby.
