Academy March On
Leicester City's under 18 side demolished MK Dons 4-0 at the Belvoir Drive training ground on Saturday.
The victory makes it an incredible nine wins from 11 matches for the Foxes this term - and cements their five point advantage at the top of the Group B table.
Ashley Chambers, fresh from a stint with the England under 17 side, gave City the lead on 15 minutes.
Despite having a number of other opportunities, Leicester had to wait until the second half to increase their advantage. Billy McKay doubled the lead following good work from Max Gradel, with Joe Mattock, also back from England duty, and Scott Lycett grabbing the other goals.
Speaking after the game to lcfc.com, Academy manager Jon Rudkin said: "Overall it was a pleasing performance.
"We did well in the first half, but we really took control of the game after the break.
"It was good to see young Ashley and Joe return to the side following a successful trip with the England side. We moved Joe into midfield in the absence of Andy King, who is away with Wales, and he adjusted well."
City: Pentney, Tuttle (Rochester), Rowe-Turner, Lycett, Magunda, Gradel, Tejan-Sie, Mattock, Beswick (Kee), McKay, Chambers (Craig King).
