U18s summary: Spurs v United

Manchester United's Under-18s fell to a 4-3 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in the U18 Premier League Cup, despite a late comeback attempt.

The hosts established the lead in the first five minutes through striker Ellis Lehane, before a double from Luca Williams-Barnett saw them head into the break with a three-goal advantage.

It looked like the game had slipped away from United when Williams-Barnett completed his hat-trick on the other side of half-time.

Substitute Shea Lacey's brace gave Adam Lawrence's side a fighting chance however, and Gabriele Biancheri's converted penalty in the final five minutes made for a shaky finale for Spurs, but time ran out before we were able to complete an unlikely late comeback.
