Our Under-18 Premier League Cup journey ended at the quarter-final stage as we were beaten 2-1 at Stoke City on Saturday.
We had the game's first real chance, Taylor Foran picking out James Sweet with a fine crossfield pass and our wing-back took the ball in his stride well, but fired just wide.
Conditions took a turn for the worse midway through the half and made it difficult for either side to maintain any sort of control on the match.
The hosts were awarded a penalty in controversial circumstances five minutes before the break, Foran adjudged to have tripped Emre Tezgel after Bradley Ibrahim was caught in possession, but replays suggest that our defender won the ball.
