Check out chief sports writer Simon Parker's take on the key points and his player ratings.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Jake Reeves seemed to cover every blade of grass once more and capped his performance with a first goal for the club.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

It’s been a long time coming but Reeves finally broke his duck to fire City ahead.

MOAN OF THE MATCH

City had hung on for so long before Cambridge’s pressure finally told – and they were fuming that ref Nick Kinseley did not award a free-kick for a foul on Harry Pritchard.

TACTICS

Rangers winger Glenn Middleton made his first appearance in place of Kurtis Guthrie. Shay McCartan was moved up to second striker to partner Lee Novak.
