WHAT HAPPENED

Despite a strong start in north London, we slipped to defeat against Leicester City in the Under-18 Premier League on Saturday.

Catalin Cirjin put us ahead inside the opening 10 minutes, firing home inside the box after some strong hold-up play by Alfie Matthews.

But the visitors hit back immediately when Hubert Graczyk was caught in possession by Will Russ, allowing Terrel Pennant to slot into the empty net.

And the game was turned on its head on the half-hour mark when Liam Loughlin's swirling cross cannoned off the post and straight into Kaisey McAteer's path, who headed home from close range.
