King Scores A Brace As Under-21s Win In PL2
City's Development Squad made it two wins from two on Monday evening when a brilliant comeback saw them defeat Middlesbrough in Seagrave, to take their points tally up to six in the current Premier League 2 campaign.
After a 1-0 win over Hull City in the Premier League Cup, Jake Evans the only goalscorer that day, the Foxes returned to league action for the visit of the Boro, who took an early lead when Ajay Matthews converted his fourth-minute penalty.
Two goals in the space of four minutes from King turned the game around - the forward in red hot form having netted in his last game, a 1-1 draw for the Leicester City Under-18s against West Ham United.
With the lead restored, the hosts put the game to bed with little over 10 minutes on the clock when Ollie Ewing, assisted by Logan Briggs, wrapped up a positive performance and three points.
Confirming their second win in the league, the Foxes prepare for the visit of Stoke City, who make the short trip to LCFC Training Ground on Friday evening for a 7pm BST kick-off.
