Nigerian young stars Layton Ndukwu and Calvin Ughelumba put in an impressive performance but could not prevent Leicester City from losing 3-2 to FC Copenhagen in a thrilling clash staged at the Osterbro Stadion on Wednesday.<br /><br />England youth international Ndukwu put in a full shift yet again just as he did against Porto, Club Brugge and the Danish opponents in England, while Ughelumba was introduced immediately after the intermission.<br /><br />With the hosts leading 2-0 at the end of the first half, the Foxes manager made a tactical substitution by bringing on the 16-year-old defender to steady the backline and it proved to be a masterclass, with the English team failing to concede until injury time when Hjulmand struck from 25 yards. <br /><br />A brace from Barnes either side of the half had restored parity for Leicester City, after Kristoffersen and Rojkjaer struck inside the opening eight minutes. <br /><br />Leicester City will be eliminated from the Youth League if they fail to beat Club Brugge at home in their next fixture on November 22, 2016. <br /><br />Igho Kingsley<br /><br />Photo Credit : lcfc.com<br />
