Coventry City U18's lost their first game of the season when they were beaten 3-0 at Leicester City this morning.

Both teams were unbeaten going into this clash at Middlesex Road but it was Steve Beaglehole, who was the happier manager as his side took the lead after only 32 seconds.

Leicester took a long throw in from the left and Elliott Chamberlain was first to react and lashed home from close range.

Rob Ogleby was City's main outlet and the front man fired across the goal in the ninth minute and then blasted over from a Lellu long ball seven minutes later.

The home side, who had a physical presence that City struggled to deal with, had three good chances including a 27th minute, Yusseff shot on the turn that just went over the bar.

Leicester continued to have the better of the play but in the 41st minute, Jacob Blackwell picked out Ogleby who clipped the far post.

The promise City did show in the first half evaporated after the break.

In the space of eight minutes, City conceded two more goals.

Addi Yusseff scored the first three minutes into the second half when he beat Quirke with a low finish. Then in the 53rd minute, Leicester,who look hard to beat on this form, added a third thanks  to a Cain Bolger header.

Today, was not City's day and although Cyrus Christie had a good game, this was a bad day at the office.
