It was the result that the Mariners wanted or deserved, but it was a decent game for few fans that turned up to watch.
The Mariners battled well against the Premier League club’s youngsters and went in ahead at half-time through a Moses Ogbu header.
But they were not to end their Northern Group A programme on a high as substitute Josh Eppiah brought the young Foxes level before scoring a superb winning goal in the last minute.
