Leicester City U18s 3 Aston Villa U18s 2
Posted on: Sat 03 Oct 2009
Leicester City's U18s side made it seven wins out of seven games against their Aston Villa counterparts, in a pulsating encounter.
Adi Yussef opened the scoring for the young Foxes, which was followed up by Elliott Chamberlain to put the away side 2-0 up at the half-time interval.
Extremely windy conditions gave both sides difficulty and City's lead was cut in half as Villa clawed their way back after the break. However, Chamberlain completed his brace to establish City's two goal lead and put his side 3-1 ahead.
The City youngsters came under the cosh a little and Villa pulled a consolation goal back with a minute to go, after Ambrusics had made some vital saves.
Academy Manager, Jon Rudkin, said: "We are delighted for all of the lads, who have made a tremendous start to the season. This victory came against difficult opponents, but once again, the team has shown a great work ethic and determination to improve as players and they have been rewarded with the result."
The Foxes will now look to make it eight out of eight and continue their 100% record this season, against Tottenham Hotspur at the Belvoir Drive training ground, on Saturday October 10th.
Team: Ambrusics, Moore, Taft, Milne, Bolger, Parkes (c), John (Tebbutt), Norburn (Schlupp), Hicks, Chamberlain, Yussef (Hoban).
