City Outfoxed By Eagles
Posted on: Mon 15 Sep 2008
Leicester City's Under-18s suffered a 4-1 reverse at Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
The Foxes were looking to bounce back after their defeat at Manchester City a fortnight ago, but came unstuck again against an experienced and powerful Eagles outfit.
The home side raced into a 2-0 advantage before Billy Kee pulled a goal back just before half-time.
However, Palace upped the anti after the break and scored a further two goals to inflict a second league defeat of the campaign on the Foxes.
Academy Manager Jon Rudkin said: "It was another tough, physical battle and we were overpowered in the end by a useful Crystal Palace team.
"But there were plenty of positives to take out of the game whilst we will learn from our mistakes."
The Under-18s are back in action this Saturday when they travel to Ipswich Town.
Team: Ambrusics, O'Neill, Garner, Parkes, Cobb, Hicks, Cox, Vassey, Burns, Kee, King C.
