Liam Bennett's equaliser for Cambridge United against Reading has become a symbol of the team's resilience in their return to League One. The 24-year-old's 52nd-minute strike secured a 2-1 home win on 12 September, part of a flying start that has seen the club take 13 points from their opening eight games to sit 6th in the table.
Building on a strong return
Cambridge United have been unbeaten in their last five matches, a run that includes a 1-1 draw with AFC Wimbledon last weekend. This form follows their immediate promotion back to the third tier last season. The team's current standing of 6th, just three points behind leaders Plymouth, shows they have adapted quickly to the higher level.
Bennett's growing influence
Bennett's goal against Reading was his first of the season, adding to the two he scored in the promotion campaign. The striker has been working with assistant coach Adam Barrett on his set-piece technique. His development is a positive sign for a squad looking to maintain its momentum.
Cambridge United now turn their attention to a home fixture against Blackpool on 10 October. Blackpool currently sit 15th, presenting another opportunity for Cambridge to build on their solid start.
