Sharpe was no sweat for Stanton

Speaking in yesterday's Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph Laws admitted that he had been "relishing" the battle between the pair.

"I knew Lee would not get past Nathan, not many will this season," he said.

Sharpe, making his debut for City after signing on a short term basis as he looks for a club on the continent, was limited to two first half shots which were comfortably held by Tommy Evans in the Iron net.
