Josh King scored a hat-trick for the Leicester City Under-18s who beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in U18 Premier League action on Saturday morning.
The impressive form from the the young Foxes continued last weekend when they recorded back-to-back victories in the capital, defeating Chelsea 2-1 before in the U18 Premier League Cup before coming out on top against Spurs.
King kickstarted the scoring in the first minute to break the deadlock, before Callum Olusesi brought the hosts back level. Prior to the conclusion of the first half, King and Toby Ononaye gave City a two-goal advantage.
