Three Leeds United players stand out in U18s' FA Youth Cup comeback win

Leeds United Under-18s sealed their place in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup with a 3-2 win over Accrington Stanley at Thorp Arch. The Whites will now travel to south London next month to take on AFC Wimbledon in the fourth round of the prestigious competition.

Scott Gardner’s side had to come from behind to see off Accrington after going 2-0 down in the contest thanks to goals from Jack Massey and Calvin Harper. However, Max McFadden struck just before half-time to give Leeds a lifeline going into the second half and that gave the hosts the impetus to go on and win the tie.

Marley Wilson equalled the scores early in the second half and a Ben Andreucci penalty in the 90 th minute was enough to seal progression in the cup. Here’s a look at three players who caught the eye on the night.
