City came agonisingly close to starting the U18 PL Cup campaign with a win, but for a last-gasp equaliser from the hosts on the South Coast.

Following last week's draw with Middlesbrough in the league, the side coached by Adam Barradell headed down to face Bournemouth, starting well and taking the lead 25 minutes in through Jake Fletcher.

The young Foxes looked to have secured all three group stage points until the fourth minute of injury-time, when Ejiro Akpoguma netted their late leveller.

Collecting a point apiece in the end, it leaves us third in Group A, with top of the table Everton, and Reading, still to play.

We're back to U18 Premier League duties on Saturday 5 September, meanwhile, hosting Newcastle United at LCFC Training Ground (1pm BST kick-off).

The details

City: Hibbins, Simons, Dignum, Jacklin, Turrell, Manyumba, Holmes (Colangelo-Allen 75'), Aideed, Quinn (Szembell 62'), Owusu (Machaka 84'), Fletcher.

Subs not used: Shaw, Govan, Irene, Swan.

Goal: Fletcher 25'.
