Brentford youngsters beaten by Leeds in FA Youth Cup

Brentford’s Under-18s went out of the FA Youth Cup after a 3-2 defeat to Leeds United at Griffin Park on Tuesday.

The Bees began brightly but it was the visitors who took the lead on 20 minutes when Mallik Wilks’ shot took a deflection and beat keeper Cameron Greaves.

Brentford responded with an equaliser six minutes after half-time, Kyjuon Marsh-Brown creating space on the edge of the box before firing home.[phone][/phone]

Leeds restored their lead with another slightly fortunate goal, as Henry Rollinson’s effort slipped through the grasp of Greaves.

On 77 minutes, Brentford levelled again. Reece Cole delivered a corner and Zach Birse brought it down before drilling in a firm shot.

However, Leeds went straight up the other end and made it 3-2 with Tyla Bell converting from Matty Downing’s cross.

They will face either Portsmouth or Manchester City in the fourth round.
