Rob Etherington’s youthful White team traveled to the southern coast for the competition’s last 32 matches, where they triumphed 4-0 to advance to the fifth round. After Freddie Lane crossed the ball in the 21st minute, Max McFadden volleyed the Whites into a 1-0 lead. Leeds led 1-0 at halftime. Then, around the hour mark, McFadden doubled his goal and United’s lead after Rhys Chadwick’s effort had rebounded off the crossbar. Six minutes later, the crossbar stopped Lane once more, but this time Marley Wilson pounced to make it 3-0, and with 16 minutes remaining, Alfie Cresswell headed in the fourth goal for the Whites from a McFadden cross.
