Jorgen Strand Larsen nets hat-trick as Wolves hit Shrewsbury for six in FA Cup
Strand Larsen ended a run of 12 games without a goal with the opener which was quickly followed up by Jhon Arias, who made it two with his second goal for the club. Santiago Bueno unlocked the Shrews defence with a perfect through ball to Hee Chan Hwang and he played it across to Strand Larsen, who flicked into an empty goal. Wolves doubled their advantage two minutes later, this time Strand Larsen turned creator and fed the ball through to Arias, who latched onto the pass and finished expertly past Harrison. The hosts should have had a third after Harrison’s poor clearance ended with Andre squaring across to Strand Larsen, who was unable to get his foot on the end of it. Mateus Mane has been a revelation since he started making starts under Rob Edwards and he made an instant impact when he was introduced on the hour as he supplied a cross for Strand Larsen, who saw his header brilliantly saved by Harrison.

Man Utd transfer plan emerges for striker Arsenal have wanted for over a year
The Sun reports that United are now considering a move for Blackburn Rovers striker Igor Tyjon.

For United, significant activity this month looks doubtful, with focus already turning to the summer transfer period. Arsenal have already secured deals for Edwin and Holger Quintero from Independiente del Valle, as well as Victor Ozhianvuna from Shamrock Rovers.
