Ryan Bowman just missed opening the scoring for United in the first minute from a Connor Tinnion free-kick, the young Blues eventually taking the lead after 23 minutes. In-form Carlisle striker Andy Cook volleying powerfully home from an angled Jonny Blake ball into him.
Cook making it 2-0 to United six minutes before the interval when a fired home a slightly deflected shot after Matt Duffy had played the ball forward. No more goals were forthcoming in the second-half with Cook being denied a hat-trick, and his ninth strike in four games, when his header from a Simon Lakeland cross was well saved by the Accrington Stanley goalkeeper.
