Reserves Back On Track
Posted on: Thu 17 Apr 2008
Goals from Ricky Sappleton, Andy King and Zsolt Laczko helped City reserves to a 3-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Wednesday evening.
The Foxes went into the game on the back of two defeats in the Pontin's Central League.
But a strong second string line up, including the likes of Ben Alnwick, James Chambers, Harry Worley, Joe Mattock, Gabor Bori, Radi Kishishev, Andy King and Zsolt Laczko, put that record to rest with a fine performance away from their home patch.
Young striker Ricky Sappleton gave City the lead in the ninth minute of the contest - converting from the spot after Bori had been brought down in the Baggies penaly area.
Leicester continued to control the game, and their efforts were further rewarded eight minutes from time when King fired home from the edge of the box.
And the Foxes made it three at the death - Laczko tucking away the second penalty of the night following a handball.
Steve Beaglehole said: "We played really well and I am very pleased with the performance from the lads.
"It was an excellent team display - from front to back.
"I have to say that the attitude of the players was fantastic. There was a real desire from them to get something out of the game.
"I'm sure the victory will give everyone at the c lub a boost ahead a run of important first team fixtures."
City: Alnwick, Chambers, Worley, Rowe-Turner, Mattock (Magunda), Bori, Kishishev, A King, Laczko, Sappleton (Cox), C King (Beswick).
Subs not used: Pentney, Garner.
