The Leicester City Under-18s were beaten 4-1 by Leeds United in the U18 Premier League Cup on Saturday afternoon.
After a promising start to the 2024/25 season, in which the young Foxes went unbeaten in four U18 Premier League games, the Under-18s are now three games without a win, last seeing victory away at Chelsea.
Things got started well for City at Thorp Arch Training Ground, with Kirsten Otchere handing the visitors an early lead two minutes in, assisted by Jeremy Monga, but saw themselves 2-1 down by the break with goals from Joshua McDonald and Lleyton Brown.
The change in momentum continued after the break, with Joe Billet and Louie Dudley extending the hosts' lead with 50 minutes on the clock.
Currently bottom in Group B after two games, Leicester return home in a couple of weeks time when they face Fulham on Saturday 19 October (12pm BST kick-off) in league action.
The details...
City: Marson; Jacklin, Diallo, Lawrence, Khela; Page, Dyke; Owusu (Aideed 67'), Monga, Omobolaji; Otchere.
Unused subs: Manyumba, Digham, Lawrence, de Lisle.
Goal: Otchere, 2'
