Sheffield United scored its first win, beating China Green Town 3-0 in Hangzhou Monday in its first of three pre-season warm-ups in China.

At Hangzhou Huanglong sports center, the visitors launched their attacks from the right wing during the first half through Leigh Bromby, Nick Montgomery and Paul Ifill who netted the opener in the 15th minute.

The home side was again broken in their defense in the 60th minute when Danny Webber found the net from a corner kick.

Ten minutes later, Michael Tonge kicked in the third.

After Hangzhou, the United will move on to Changsha and Xi'an for the next two matches.

Hao Haidong, the Chinese forward in the United, failed to score anything and was substituted after one hour.
