A solitary goal from substitute Joseph Corden, assisted by Darren Motsi, was enough to secure victory at LCFC Training Ground, making it four in a row across all competitions, following three consecutive U18 Premier League South wins for the side coached by Adam Barradell.
Following a late defeat at Newcastle United on matchday one, the young Foxes now move up to second in Group B, on three points, ahead of travelling to facing group leaders Aston Villa, who currently hold a 100 per cent record, on Saturday 22 November, with both sides in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.
Next up in the league after the international break, meanwhile, we host Brighton & Hove Albion in Seagrave on Saturday 18 October (11am BST kick-off), looking to maintain a good start to the campaign. Currently in fifth place, we’re two points behind league leaders Arsenal, who have played a game more than City.
