Louie Barry bagged a goal and an assist for loan club Stockport County on Saturday, as the Hatters recorded an impressive 5-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers in League One.
The 21-year-old helped put Dave Challinor’s side in the driving seat half an hour in, dashing to the byline and pulling back for Will Collar to open the scoring, before getting in on the act himself in the second period, robbing a Bolton defender of possession and finishing confidently past Nathan Baxter to put them 4-0 ahead just after the hour mark.
Barry now has 11 goals in 16 games in all competitions this season for Stockport, and sits joint top of the League One goalscoring charts with 10 in 15.
