Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Scunthorpe United thrashed North Ferriby United 6-3 in a pre-season friendly, with Billy Chadwick the highest-rated player on the pitch despite not scoring, as the Iron ran riot with five goals before the hour mark. The match was never a contest after the opening quarter of an hour, with the visitors racing into a three-goal lead and never looking back.

Luke Brennan struck twice inside the opening twelve minutes, his first a calm finish in the 8th minute before doubling the lead four minutes later, and Jacob Luke Butterfield made it three on 15 minutes. Jake Day pulled one back for North Ferriby on 26 minutes, but Kyle Hurst restored the three-goal cushion just before the break and Patrick Jones added a fifth early in the second half. Day scored again for the hosts on 62 minutes and Josh Thacker made it 3-5 on 67, before a late Scunthorpe strike on 81 minutes sealed the final scoreline.

Possession told the story — Scunthorpe controlled 63% of the ball to North Ferriby's 37% — and they were far more dangerous from open play, though the hosts actually won more corners (5-2) in a game that was never tight. Billy Chadwick was the standout with a 6.43 rating, the highest of any player on the day, though he did not find the net. No next fixture is scheduled.
