Untied continued their improvement and recorded a comprehensive win over Milan to earn their first victory of the season.

The visitors' line up had a more familiar and solid look with the return of Ian Willis to the centre of the defence.

Milan's Keith Young scored a fine goal to put the home side ahead.

When Shaun Ingram shot wide, it looked as though it was going to be another bleak day for United.

However, a drive from 30 yards by Robin Hart, his first goal for the club, brought the visitors level after 42 minutes and Johnson then provided the opening for Chambers to finish.

The introduction of Matt Ohene gave Braintree added pace up front and the young striker scored with a volley on the turn after 67 minutes.

Milan then enjoyed a brief spell of supremacy, but a fine save from Colin Elliston denied Young and Milan then saw a shot come back off the woodwork.

The miss of the afternoon, if not the season, then came from Chambers who scooped the ball over the bar from Rolfe's precise pass, when it seemed easier to score.

Rolfe and Johnson then combined to give Chambers the opportunity to make amends and he finished emphatically.

Chambers then returned the compliment, a back-heel putting Johnson clear and he netted.

Ohene claimed his second goal after 81 minutes and was then denied a hat-trick by a goal-line clearance, but United were more than content with their afernoon's work.
