It's now back-to-back away triumphs for the side coached by Adam Barradell, scoring 10 goals in the process, backing up the 6-3 victory at West Ham United with another entertaining success on the South Coast.

After letting a two-goal lead slip late on at Norwich City in midweek, there was renewed motivation from the off and that led to a Leicester opener within the first five minutes at AMEX Elite Football Performance Centre.

Bless Akolbire set up Luqman Aideed to break the deadlock early on, but the Seagulls responded shortly before half-time; Tyler Silsby with the equaliser.

That sparked the young Foxes into a scoring spree, going back ahead just three minutes later courtesy of Akolbire's strike, which was quickly followed by Bismark Owusu's goal.

With City 3-1 ahead at the interval, it took until the 70th minute for another breakthrough. Silsby's second of the game was a penalty that drew the Seagulls back into the game.

Re-establishing the two-goal cushion in stoppage-time, when in-form Foxes forward Lorenz Hutchinson netted his fourth in three games, that wasn't the end of the scoring, as Theo Outen converted a consolation at the other end before the final whistle.

A fifth league win of the season, it moves us up to ninth in the table, on 19 points from 17 games, ahead of welcoming 12th-placed Norwich City to LCFC Training Ground on Saturday afternoon (1pm GMT kick-off).

City: Donohue, Toko, Dyke, Gray, Adedeji; Carr, Akolbire, Diallo, Owusu (Daniels 80'); Hutchinson, Aideed (Sutherington 86').
