City's U21s began their Premier League Cup campaign with a narrow defeat at home to Burnley.
MATCH SUMMARY
Facing Burnley in their opening group game in the Premier League Cup, City fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat at Cardiff International Sports Campus.
After a goalless first half in Leckwith, the visitors took the lead with 67 minutes on the clock, as Charlie Veevers found the net to open the scoring.
City's reaction was impressive, showing character to get themselves back in the game. Matty Apter found Mannie Barton, who was on-hand to find an equaliser for the Bluebirds.
The game's key moment came in the 86th minute, as Kamarni Ryan struck home the winning goal late-on.
PRE-MATCH | JAC THOMAS
Ahead of Tuesday evening's contest, left-back Jac Thomas said: “It’s been a good start to the season, we’re in a good run of form and we’re playing well. There’s good morale in the squad.
“I think that the Watford game in particular, it was one of the best that we’ve played so far this season. It’s given us a bit of energy and a buzz going into Tuesday.
“We know that we want to do well in this cup and get off to a strong start, so hopefully we can get the three points tomorrow.
“Everyone likes a cup game and the chance to go on a cup run. I think we all want to see what we can do in this cup this year, starting by trying to top this group, make a name for ourselves and see where this cup can take us.
“When it comes to cup games, sometimes the result can be more important than the performance.
“It’s never easy going up against Burnley, they’re always a good side. It will be a tough test, but hopefully we can get the result and move on to the next.”
