Our young Foxes responded well to an FA Youth Cup defeat at the hands of Bolton Wanderers by scoring a hatful in a convincing league win over Norwich at the weekend.
Maxwell Adedeji was the first to score, from the penalty spot, before Hugo de Lisle, and Lorenz Hutchinson both netted braces, with a Bismark Owusu goal in between.
The converted penalty opened the scoring at Avant Training Centre, 13 minutes in, before Leo Rodella levelled things up in the 22nd minute. Leicester did have the lead at the break thanks to two quick-fire goals from de Lisle and Hutchinson.
Shortly after the restart, Owusu extended our lead to three goals before de Lisle's second on the hour mark, putting the game out of sight.
There was a late flurry of goals, however, which started with Foden Northover netting for the hosts, before Hutchinson also grabbed a second with 15 left to play.
Glenn McCourt's injury-time strike for the Canaries didn't change the balance of the game, as City ran out 6-3 winners to put us fifth in the U18 Premier League table, with Norwich still struggling towards the bottom in 14th.
That concludes the action for our U18s for 2025, finishing on a high, and the side coached by Adam Barradell will return to the field on Saturday 10 January, when we face Arsenal in the capital for an 11:30am GMT kick-off.
