STRIKER Rory Patterson scored a brace as FC United cantered to an easy 3-0 win away at Chorley.

The league's top scorer stole the show in front of 1,736 fans at Victory Park with another fine performance to help take the rebels up to seventh place in the UniBond Division One North.

His strike partner Stuart Rudd opened the scoring on 13 minutes with a tap-in, before Patterson got his first 20 minutes later after a brisk counter attack involving new signing Adam Carden, who played the decisive pass.

Patterson rounded things off after an hour with his ninth of the season from a Jerome Wright cross.
