U18s report: Leicester City 3-5 Arsenal

Max Dowman scored a hat-trick as our under-18s made it four wins in a row with a 5-3 victory away to Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.

Alex Marciniak opened the scoring for Adam Birchall’s side, but it was Dowman who swung the tide of the game, netting two excellent solo goals and a penalty having set up Marciniak's opener.

Leicester piled the pressure on in the final 15 minutes, but a late goal from Brando Bailey-Joseph settled any nerves.

What Happened

Much like our victory over Leicester a few weeks ago, the game started brightly, with Luqman Aideed and Alex Marciniak coming close for their respective sides.
