Leicester City's under 18 side completed an emphatic 8-0 victory over Cardiff City at the Belvoir Drive training ground on Saturday afternoon.

The Foxes went into the game on the back of a four match winning streak.

And Steve Beaglehole's side made it five out of five on the day with a classic display of finishing.

Eric Odihambo (pictured) grabbed his second hat-trick of the season, while Scott Lycett, Max Gradel, Billy McKay, Andy King and Ashley Chambers all chipped in with a goal apiece.

In fact striker McKay has now bagged a goal in each of City's six fixtures this season to date.

Speaking after the game, Academy manager Jon Rudkin said: "We played some excellent football on the day and I was very pleased with the performance.

"We put on a good exhibition of quick play in the last third of the pitch.

"We totally controlled the game.

"Although we have ended up scoring eight goals, we are equally as pleased with the way in which we pressed Cardiff and shut them down.

"It was an all-round professional performance."

City: Pentney, Magunda, Lycett, Garner, Mattock, Gradel (Rochester), King, Tejan-Sie, Beswick, McKay (Chambers), Odihambo.

I met Max Gradel on the train on the way back to London tonight. He's a ****ing liar - tried to deny he was Max Gradel FFS!

There was a reason for it though. I called him Max Gradel - to rhyme with cradle what a baby might rock in - but it's not - it's Max Graaaaaaaaaaaaaadel - to rhyme with something a pirate might say.

Too right, it was your fault!! I did think of telling him it was your fault, but he already seemed confused enough by the fact that he had been recognised. Poor lamb!

In the future it may be an idea if everyone hears my username as though read by the policeman from Allo Allo.
