Manchester City Clinches Fourth FA Youth Cup Title with Dominant Display Against Leeds

Manchester City dominated the second half to secure victory over Leeds and claim the FA Youth Cup for the fourth time. The breakthrough came shortly after halftime when Justin Oboavwodou capitalized on a rebound to put City ahead. Jayden Heskey extended their lead, tapping in a cross from Farid Alfa-Ruprecht.

Defender Stephen Mfuni added a third goal from a free-kick while substitute Matty Warhurst sealed the win with a solo effort late in the game. Despite Leeds’ spirited run to the final, they were unable to mount a significant challenge.

For City, it was their sixth final appearance in the last decade with their last triumph in 2020. The victory held special significance for City’s Under-18 coach Ben Wilkinson, son of former Leeds manager Howard Wilkinson.
