Notts County suffered a 0-2 loss to Manchester United u21s in their final EFL Trophy group stage match.

Chido Obi shrugged off his marker before looping a pass into the path of Lacey to take a touch and strike low past the keeper at the near post. In the second half, Notts County pushed for an equaliser, but two key interventions from Diego Leon ensured United maintained their clean sheet. Captain Jacob Devaney doubled the lead in the 54th minute with a spectacular goal, carrying the ball over 50 yards through the heart of Notts County before slotting into the bottom right corner from 20 yards out. The goal put the home side to the sword, and they limped through the rest of the match with little intensity. Despite the loss, Notts County will look to bounce back in their next match.
