Cambridge United 0-1 Port Vale

Last updated on 5 hours ago5 hours ago.From the section League Onecomments12 Paul Digby's late own goal proved decisive as Port Vale triumphed at Cambridge. Under little pressure, Digby turned Will Forrester's delivery into his own net 11 minutes from time as U's keeper Will Mannion was finally beaten, having previously kept the Valiants at bay. Mannion was first called on after 10 minutes, doing well to tip Gavin Massey's effort over the bar after he had been played in by Mipo Odubeko. He then tipped Mal Benning's low effort on to the post 10 minutes later before producing an excellent save to keep out Ben Garrity's close-range shot. Cambridge offered little but should have gone ahead soon after when Jack Lankester fired over from Harvey Knibbs' pass. The second period was a more sedate affair until Connor Hall almost struck for the Valiants in spectacular fashion, cutting inside two Cambridge defenders before curling his effort towards the far post but just over the bar. However, there was still time for Vale to get the goal that secured them the points courtesy of the unlucky Digby. Match report supplied by PA Media.Line-upsMatch StatsLive Text

21:25A well deserved 3pts . The commitment, and battling spirit is second to none and no one can take an easy ride against us for granted any more. We are still missing that bit of class to make us a promotion threat but we have a group of players who seldom let us down. And we also had the unusual spectacle of Stone coming on without having someone sent off!12V

19:38When I saw the team line up I feared the worst especially given our track record at the Abbey Stadium. However, we played well and controlled the game with a structured performance. Ironic the winner was from a soft OhJeez after Mannion's excellent saves.
Gives us a no pressure free hit at Ipswich now, a game where we have nothing to lose because of our solid position. UTV 22A

18:25Great travelling support again from Vale. Despite having our three best forwards out injured, I though we looked the more creative and dangerous team. We seem to be adjusting well to life at this level so hopefully we can keep pushing on up the league.72V

18:08Everyone 'triumphs at Cambridge' at the moment. We were rubbish. No passion. It's as if the players can't be bothered and want relegation. Since Bonner turned down Rotherham, the players have served up tripe every week. I can't defend what I saw today. Port Vale's winner was inevitable from the off. L2 here we come. Must beat that football superpower Curzon Ashton or I think MB should go.61M

18:07We were cruising until Rotherham tried pinching bonner, very unsettling. Now we are in big trouble. Wycombe Tuesday so that's a yearly defeat and boro away. Bet they laughing there heads off13M

18:01Losing both strikers before the game Vale managed to limit the home side to zero shots on target. Good team effort. Just hope Harrison & Wilson fit for Ipswich.73M
