Barnes and Barras scored three at Old Trafford

York beat Manchester United 3–0 on 20 September 1995 in the first leg of their second-round tie. Paul Barnes scored in the 24th minute and added a penalty in the 51st. Tony Barras scored two minutes later to complete the score.

United's Pat McGibbon was sent off in the 50th minute, before Barnes converted the penalty. York's Paul Baker was also dismissed later, in the 75th minute. The sequence places City's first goal before either dismissal and the two quick second-half goals immediately after United were reduced to ten.

Alan Little managed York against Alex Ferguson's United side. The match record identifies Old Trafford, the date and the first-leg status, all useful details for finding the right footage. It was a decisive away performance, but the tie still had a second match to play.

The return leg mattered, and Everton followed a year later

York lost the home return against United 3–1 but advanced 4–3 on aggregate. Before that tie, City had beaten Rochdale 6–3 overall, recovering from a 2–1 away defeat with a 5–1 home win. QPR then ended York's run with a 3–1 third-round victory.

The following season produced another two-leg success against top-flight opposition. York drew 1–1 away to Everton and won 3–2 at home, again progressing 4–3 on aggregate. That 1996/97 campaign had begun against Doncaster and ended with a 2–0 home defeat by Leicester.

The repeated 4–3 aggregate margin can make the two runs look alike, but their individual scores were different. United were beaten through a large first-leg advantage, while Everton were held away and defeated at home. Keeping the seasons and leg scores together preserves the distinct character of each York cup achievement.

Who scored York's three Old Trafford goals?

Yes. The 3–1 home defeat by Manchester United left York ahead 4–3 on aggregate, enough to reach round three.
