Youngsters Defeat Dons
Leicester City's under 18 side consolidated their position at the top of the table with a 3-1 victory over the MK Dons on Friday afternoon.
The Foxes went into the re-arranged fixture on the back of a morale boosting 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
And Leicester would make it back-to-back wins with a hard working performance against the Buckinghamshire outfit.
The match remained finely poised at 0-0 at half-time, but City took advantage of the steep slope in the second period.
Andy King, Billy McKay and Max Gradel grabbed the City goals on the day.
Walkers Youth Academy director Jon Rudkin said: "The lads adapted well to the difficult conditions.
"We were made to work very hard, but we got our rewards in the end."
The result has opened up City's lead to six points at the top of the FA Premier Academy League Group B table.
City: Cisak, Magunda, Lycett, Garner, Rowe-Turner (Mattock), Gradel (Rochester), King, Tejan-Sie, Beswick (Cox), McKay, Odhiambo.
Get Gradel in the squad NOW. He's scored 12 goals in 17 games from the right wing this season and is still being overlooked.
Good to see Cisak getting back between the sticks as well.
