The Leicester City Under-18s drew 2-2 with Reading in the U18 Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Following a narrow defeat to Norwich City at LCFC Training Ground, Leicester's youngsters were back in action last weekend when they took on Reading in Berkshire, which ended in a 2-2 draw after a brace from Reece Evans.

Verrell George opened the scoring at Bearwood Park Training Facility just 10 minutes in, and the hosts kept the lead until the second half when R. Evans netted his first after 50 minutes.

Reading regained the lead nine minutes later through Joseph Barough, but the last piece of action came in favour of the travelling Foxes, who salvaged a point through R. Evans once again, who scored minutes from full-time.

City are next in action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Manchester City in Seagrave for a semi-final clash in the U18 Premier League Cup. A win would see them face either Manchester United or Crystal Palace in the final.
