Despite Richard Walker’s efforts, his team was unable to stop the Reds from extending their lead shortly after the hour mark, as Brown expertly slotted a side-footed shot into the bottom corner following impressive play from Bailey and Gabriel.
United, who faced a controversial booking for Ibragimov after a perceived dive just outside the penalty area, maintained control of possession and continued to attack with urgency in search of additional goals.
In stoppage time, Lusale narrowly missed the target, poking wide with the outside of his right foot, but the overall performance had already sealed a strong start to the season.
