Last-Gasp Man Utd Defeat In U18 PL Cup

Leicester City's Under-18s were beaten late on in their U18 Premier League Cup opener against Manchester United, losing out 2-1.

The first game in this season's competition saw the young Foxes, coached by Adam Barradell, back in action at LCFC Training Ground just three days on from a 2-2 draw with Reading in U18 Premier League South.

It was full-back Olabade Aluko who opened the scoring in Seagrave, converting a 57th-minute penalty to hand Leicester the advantage, but the Red Devils hit back with just over 10 minutes of normal time to play - Gabriele Biancheri with the equaliser for United.

And there was to be late drama in the seventh minute of stoppage-time, when the visitors won a penalty, also dispatched by Biancheri, to snatch all three points at the death. 

Games against Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur are still to come in Group B, while City's next outing is back in the league, away to Chelsea on Saturday (12pm BST kick-off).

The details...


City: Donohue; Aluko (Toko 90+2'), Adedeji, Diallo, Khela; Dyke, Lawrence; Owusu (Jacklin 81'), Page, Omobolaji; Otchere (Fletcher 72').

Unused subs: McNab, Manyumba.

Goal: Aluko 57' (pen).
