STARS ABROAD Harambee Stars prospect bags stoppage time goal for Leicester City

Imran Otieno • 19:00 - 16.09.2023

The 19-year-old Kenyan scored his second goal for Leicester City after also netting against Norwich City.

Kenyan winger Silko Thomas Otieno netted for Leicester City as they commenced their Under 21 Premier League Cup with a 4-3 defeat to Burnley at the LCFC Training Ground.

Otieno is still unattached after he was released by Chelsea at the end of the 2022-2023 season but is currently a trialist for Leicester who are looking to add him to their junior ranks.

The right winger joined Chelsea as an Under 10 and spent close to a decade with the Blues before he was deemed surplus to requirements.

Back in July, the 19-year-old turned out for Sunderland again as a trialist but the move to the Black Cats failed to materalise.

Otieno can still join any side in England despite the transfer window slamming shut as he is a free agent following his release by Chelsea.

Leicester opened the scoring a minute after the half hour mark through Wanya Marcal but Burnley went into the half time break level courtesy of Joe Westley who netted in the 45th minute.

The Foxes regained their lead 11 minutes after the half time break as Amani Richards got on to the scoresheet.

Burnley however had an instant riposte as Basilio Rieno Socoliche tapped home from close range to tie the game for the second time.

The Clarets took the lead for the first time in the game through Lewis Richardson a minute after the hour mark as Westley sealed his brace in the 80th minute to put Burnley in a commanding 4-2 lead.

Silko Thomas scored a consolation deep into stoppage time with virtually the last kick of the game as it was a little too late as Burnley held on for the win.
