Home Defeat To Hammers For City's U18s

Three second half goals from title-chasers West Ham United saw off Leicester City's Under-18s on Saturday afternoon.

The young Foxes returned home to LCFC Training Ground following a narrow defeat to Brighton last time out, where a single goal Sahil Bashir settled the scoreline.

Leicester welcomed a West Ham side currently second in the U18 Premier League South Division, but without a win in two, seeing defeats to league leaders Chelsea before a hammer blow to Arsenal; losing 8-1 on home soil.

There was nothing to separate the two sides at the break, but a Bobby Amartey own goal four minutes into the second period set the scene for the London outfit who scored twice more before the game was out.

First of all a minute later when Elisha Sowunmi doubled the Irons' advantage before Joshua Ajala put the game out of sight with 15 minutes to play in Seagrave.

Dropping down to eighth in the standings with 25 points collected this season, City's next game sees them travel to the capital to face tough opponents Chelsea at Cobham Training Centre on Saturday (12pm BST kick-off).

The details...


City: French; Aluko, Amartey, Khela, Joseph; Gray (McAlinney 66'), Page; Omobolaji (Donnelly 80'), Neale, Evans (Monga 88'); Otchere (Ononaye 66').

Unused sub: Donohue.
