The Leicester City Under-18s were beaten 3-1 by Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday in the U18 Premier League.

Three second half goals from Spurs saw the hosts come from behind to beat the young Foxes at Tottenham Hotspur Academy Spurs Lodge in U18 Premier League South Division action on Saturday morning.

Following a 4-1 reverse to Aston Villa the week before, it was the travelling City who took the lead 42 minutes in through Kaleb Dyke, with the London outfit coming back minutes later, equalising through Luca Williams-Barnett's stunner from the centre-circle. 

Spurs then came out strongly in the second period, taking the lead when Tynan Thompson scored three minutes from the restart before confirming the victory four minutes later when Jun'ai Byfield scored.

Without a win since late October, Leicester's youngsters will be hoping that their fortunes change quickly, and have the chance to get revenge on Tottenham when the two sides meet once more on Saturday 23 November (11:30am GMT kick-off) at LCFC Training Ground for an U18 Premier League Cup clash.

Currently bottom of Group B, a win and a positive result elsewhere is a must for the Foxes to progress through to the knockout stages in a couple of week's time.

City: Donohue; Gray, Adedeji, Khela; Diallo (Aideed 86'), Dyke, Akolbire (de Lisle 74'), Daniels; Owusu (Kosiorek 66'), Omobolaji, Hutchinson.

Unused subs: Marson, Toko.
