Man City target academy trophy clean sweep after U17 Premier League cup victory
07.04.2022 - 11:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City have stormed their way to another youth trophy with a 6-0 victory over Tottenham in the Under-17 Premier League Cup, and now their academy chief wants the success to inspire older age groups to win silverware of their own.
City won the Under-23 and Under-18 Premier League divisions last season, and were 2020 winners of the FA Youth Cup and 2019 champions in the U18 Premier League Cup. Now, their success at youth level has continued with the U17 Premier League Cup, sealed in style on Wednesday in Loughborough.
Jason Wilcox, City's head of academy, said that the U17's win is shared by the entire academy set-up, and said he now hopes for more success for the under-18's and under-23's before the end of the season.

“Everyone at the academy is incredibly proud of the team, bringing another national trophy back to the CFA,” Wilcox said.
“They have maintained the highest level and overcome difficult challenges against some excellent opposition throughout the competition. This achievement is testament not only to the players and coaches but to every member of staff who works hard at the club each day to help deliver this type of success.
“We now look forward to seeing how the rest of the season progresses for our teams, with the Under 18s and Elite Development Squad looking to retain their respective leagues.”
City could have fallen behind against Tottenham, but instead took the lead through Dan Ogwuru's left foot, before provider Carlos Borges doubled the lead shortly afterwards as he converted from Luca Barrington's cross at the back post.
In the second half, City pushed on and made their dominance count and were three ahead on 46
