It was three in a blink of an eye as defender Stephen Mfuni headed home before Matty Warhurst came off the bench to compound Leeds' misery and make it 4-0 with eight minutes to go.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    It was always going to be a tough task for Leeds despite the Whites beating three Premier League youth teams on their way to the final. No EFL side has won the trophy since 2005 and City have been flying in all competitions. They sit second in the Under-18s Premier League North and have lost just four games all season. Leeds are in the same division as the English powerhouse but are 20 points behind them in the standings.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    There were some famous families involved in the tie at the Etihad Stadium, most notably in the form of Jayden Heskey and Ben Wilkinson. Heskey is the son of former England international Emile and follows in the footsteps of his father as a goalscorer and striker. Wilkinson is the son of legendary Leeds boss Howard, who won the First Division Championship in 1992, the final season before the Premier League was created.
