Albion have claimed Manchester United's scalp in the FA Youth Cup - in front of Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs.

Mark Beard's under-18s pulled off a remarkable 3-1 win in the fourth round at the Leigh Sports Village tonight.

Academy chief Butt and United legend Giggs were watching as Albion stunned the team that knocked out holders Chelsea in round three.

Peter Gwargis converted an early penalty after his shot hit the crossbar and he was brought down.

Ryan Longman doubled the lead after 14 minutes with a spectacular angled drive.

Haydon Roberts nodded home to put Albion 3-0 up on 54 minutes, a week after heading a late equaliser for the under-23s at Liverpool.

Di'Shon Bernard scrambled an 89th minute consolation for United.
