Cambridge 2-1 Shrewsbury: United end barren home run in stunning comeback
Monday 26 December 2022 18:18, UK
Cambridge scored at home in League One for the first time in seven games in a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Shrewsbury.
It looked set to be another tough afternoon for the U's as they lost two key players to injury before falling behind, but Shilow Tracey's superb equaliser turned the game.
Having already lost Lloyd Jones to a shoulder injury, Cambridge then saw Harrison Dunk stretchered off in the second period.
On 64 minutes Shrewsbury added to their misery, with Christian Saydee firing powerfully home after being teed up by Rob Street following good work by Rekeil Pyke.
But Cambridge were behind for only three minutes as substitute Tracey cut inside on the edge of the box before firing an outstanding effort into the far corner.
