Back in league action for the first time since a 4-1 victory over Arsenal, the young Foxes were playing for the third time in a week, looking to recover from a narrow defeat to Boston United at Jakemans Community Stadium three days earlier.

Turning attention to facing Forest, three of the evening’s four goals came during three minutes either side of half-time as City entered into a 2-1 lead prior to the hosts’ equaliser.

The deadlock was broken by Luqman Aideed on the stroke of half-time, finding the top corner from inside the box.

The team coached by Leon McSweeney started the second half as we ended the first, netting a fast break which saw Joseph Corden set up James Quinn to finish off the move.

Forest pulled a goal back almost instantly from the spot, halving the deficit when Fuad Smith converted a penalty into the bottom corner.

It stayed that way until the final 20 minutes, when Jayden Powell’s free-kick was turned home from close range by Matthew Orr.

Neither side could find a winner and would earn a point a piece in Loughborough to see City move on to five points from six games, sitting 25th in the 31-team table.

Moving to Premier League Cup duties, a trip to Plymouth Argyle’s Home Park comes next, on Monday 16 November (7pm kick-off).
