#4 Jake Gray has a right to be annoyed with the goings-on at the end of his crosses

Sergio Romero saw plenty of the ball thanks to Jake Gray's accurate crossing

Whenever Yeovil Town won a freekick in an area of the pitch from which crosses were more plausible than shots-at-goal. United's defence looked like nervous wrecks, and that's thanks to Jake Gray's impeccable delivery.

Whether from the right flank or the left, whether out-swinging or in, Gray's deliveries caused all sorts of problems for Marcos Rojo, Victor Lindelof and co. in the United area and he'd be right to be annoyed with the likes of Omar Sowmunmi, Sam Surridge, and Francois Zoko - all of who wasted presentable opportunities to put Yeovil on the scoresheet.

In fact, Yeovil's best chance came when one of Gray's balls was headed into Romero's arms by Sowunmi from about six yards out. With the score at 0-0.

The 22-year old has bounced around the lower leagues for a while now since being released from Cyrstal Palace's academy but if he keeps up this level of performance - and set-piece delivery - he should make it up the ranks soon enough.

Oh, and a word of appreciation for Ryan Dickinson, who dominated Matteo Darmian and Juan Mata all night long down his left flank and swung in a couple of sumptuous crosses romping forward from left back!
