City's Under 18 side have swept aside Blackburn Rovers at Platt Lane, with Joan Olle bagging a hat-trick

The Spanish youngster's three goals were complemented by two more for in-form John Guidetti, who had notched up a hat-trick of his own for the reserves last Monday. Matters were a touch narrower for the Under 16s, who beat their equivalents from Blackburn 2-1.

U18s: Karius, Mitchell (Hippias 55), Wabara, Veseli, Tse (T Skogsrud h-t), Kapsalopadas, Elabdellaoui, Benali, Robinson, Guidetti, Olle.
