Manchester City midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru netted his maiden Cup goal for the U18s as they were beaten 3-2 by West Ham United in the U18 Premier League Cup on Saturday afternoon.

After thrashing Leicester City 3-0 in their opening Group E fixture, the Citizens were unfortunate to lose by one goal at Little Heath Sports Ground (Romford, Essex) this afternoon.

After falling behind to Diallo's 32nd minute strike, Gareth Taylor's side equalized through Nigerian midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru a minute into the second half.

Diallo netted his second of the game on 49 minutes, Braaf restored parity again before the Hammers grabbed a late winner in the 82nd minute.

Born in Hamburg, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is eligible to represent the national teams of Germany, Nigeria and England.

He is spending his ninth year at City after joining the club as an eight-year old.

His brother Tom Dele-Bashiru made his professional debut for Man City's first team against Leicester City in the League Cup in December 2017.
