COLCHESTER United's long unbeaten run was ended after they were beaten at Cambridge United.
The U's lost 2-1 at the Abbey Stadium, after Luke Norris's opener was cancelled out by two goals in the space of little more than a minute from substitutes Andrew Dallas and Harvey Knibbs.
The defeat ended Colchester's 16-game unbeaten run and John McGreal's side drop to sixth in the League Two table, as a result.
The Gazette's Jon Waldron assess the U's performance following their disappointing defeat.
DEAN GERKEN 5
Denied Adeboyejo early on but will be disappointed with two goals conceded
RYAN JACKSON 5
The experienced right-back was part of a U’s side that had a rare off day
TOM EASTMAN 5
The long-serving defender did not live up to his usual high standards
LUKE PROSSER 5
U’s skipper did not seem his usual unflappable self against the likes of Adeboyejo
COHEN BRAMALL 6
A frustrating day for the U’s left-back despite some typically pacy runs
HARRY PELL 6
Tried to get the U’s moving in midfield on a disappointing day for the side
BRANDON COMLEY 5
Struggled to exert his influence in midfield on a frustrating afternoon for U’s
COURTNEY SENIOR 5
Skilful attacker embarked on a solo run in the second half but lacked an end product
KWAME POKU 5
Went close with a first-half effort but was withdrawn early in the second half
FRANK NOUBLE 6
Impressed on the left flank in the first half but was less effective after that. Booked
LUKE NORRIS 7
U’s man of the match. Took his headed goal very well and gave Cambridge defence plenty to think about
SUBSTITUTES
CALLUM HARRIOTT (for Poku, 53) 6
Skilful winger looked lively when he came on and willing to run at players
LUKE GAMBIN (for Senior, 65) 6
Tried his best to create opportunities for the U’s in the final half hour
THEO ROBINSON (for Norris, 82)
SUBSTITUTES (NOT USED): Sowunmi, Clampin, Stevenson, Ross.
