the visitors were rocked by two goals in the opening seven minutes, setting City's under 18s on their way to a 5-0 victory over an Aston Villa team currently residing in second place in the league table.
Louis Dodds had already threatened the Villa goal before he opened the scoring in only the third minute of the contest. A superb through-ball from captain Stephen Dawson put Dodds one-on-one with the 'keeper, who had no chance as the prolific striker slotted into the bottom corner with the outside of his foot.
And Dodds made it 2-0 less than four minutes later, hammering home a cross on the volley from point blank range.
The Foxes' third was an impressive piece of counter-attacking football, brought about when Dawson picked up the ball on the edge of his own area and set off on a surging run upfield. He then laid it off to Ashley Chambers who drove the ball across the face of goal, where Chris O'Grady had an easy job to tuck the ball in from six yards.
City utterly dominated the first half and finished it as they had started, with the Villa goal under severe pressure. Skillful play by O'Grady set up Chambers on the volley, but the youngster's shot flew wide.
Dodds must have thought he'd completed his hat-trick on the hour when his powerful header beat the diving goalkeeper, but failed to hit the target. He didn't have to wait long however, blasting home from inside the box to make it 4-0 with a quarter of an hour still to play.
Adam Wykes wrapped up a comprehensive win for Steve Beaglehole's side in the 81st minute, Leicester's fourteenth goal in their last three games.
