A last minute goal from Andy King sealed a 1-0 victory for City's under 18 side at Cardiff on Saturday.

The young Foxes went into the game looking to bounce back from their 3-1 Fifth Round FA Youth Cup defeat at the hands of Chelsea last week.

And First team squad member King, making a rare appearance for the youth side, smashed the ball home in the dying moments to snatch the points in difficult conditions.

Academy manager Jon Rudkin said: "Andy was away in midweek with the Welsh under 21 side and we got the opportunity to give him a run out to give him some extra match minutes this afternoon.

"He did very well in difficult conditions. He certainly put in a good work out for us.

"It was a very scrappy game. We just kept going and managed to grind it out in the end."

City: Pentney, O'Neill, Garner, Turner, Cobb, Tuttle, Cox, Burns, Beswick, C King, A King.

It's nice to see one team playing well, it's a pity they'll all get loanded out rather than given a chance in the first team.
