Cambridge United sank Burton Albion to end the Blue Square Premier leaders' 17-game unbeaten league run.

The U's dominated possession from the start but had to wait until the second half for Scott Rendell to break the deadlock from Courtney Pitt's cross.

Jai Reason's clever pass set up Robbie Willmott to make it 2-0 as Cambridge continued to dominate.

Burton's miserable day was completed when Martin Butler was shown a straight red card for a tackle on Danny Potter.
