The young Foxes returned to Seagrave after last week's win at Arsenal but were two goals down at the break courtesy of goals from Bradley Burrowes and TJ Carroll.

City's youngsters came back into it during the second half, firstly through Logan Briggs, who turned home a low cross, and then Ryan Donnelly's equaliser eight minutes later, a strike from range.

But there would be another late twist deep into stoppage-time, when Luka Lynch curled home a winner for the away side.

A cruel ending for the side coached by Leon McSweeney, we head to LNER Community Stadium on Friday 13 April (7pm GMT kick-off) to face Leeds United in our final fixture of the regular PL2 season, following the upcoming international break.

Currently sat in 10th, on 28 points, a win is required to be in with a chance of finishing inside the top eight and earn a home draw in the play-offs, with a spot in the last-16 stage already confirmed.

The details...

City: Marson; Donnelly, Gray, Toko, Ali; Page, Neale; Carr (Motsi 62'), Otchere, Briggs; Hutchinson.

Subs not used: Donohue, Amartey, Onanaye, Golding.

Goals: Briggs 67', Donnelly 75'.
