Minute by minute from the FA Youth Cup game

United gave an excellent account of themselves at the King Power Stadium as they overcame a nervous opening to give as good as they got against their illustrious hosts.

Two first half goals proved to be the difference as Leicester progreessed to face Middlesbrough in the fifth round.

2 mins - United attack down the right flank but Ughelumba stepped across to clear long. Webber tried to carry the ball forward as it bounced but Taylor hooked it away for United.

4 mins - Ndukwu let fly from distance but it took a deflection and Bacon was able to scoop it up.

7 mins - A scuffed clearance from Bacon left him facing two attackers with little in the way of cover. The stopper recovered quickly to make two vital blocks.

11 mins - Leshabela ran from his own half and let fly when he reached the edge of the Carlisle box. His shot was weak and easy for Bacon to grasp.

14 mins - A drilled corner was missed by the United defence and Ughelumba guided it in from close range.

17 mins - Ughelumba came forward again and wasn't too far away as he crunched a shot on the run just wide.

24 mins - A good passage of play put Ndukwu in a dangerous area but his shot was watched all the way by Bacon.

25 mins - United were dealt a cruel blow when Webber tried his luck from 23-yards. It took a wicked deflection and looped over the stranded Carlisle keeper.

42 mins - It was a better spell for Carlisle and a Max Brown shot was deflected behind as he shot on the spin.
