Finnish-born Ghanaian attacker Terry Ablade scored at the wrong end in Fulham u-21's 2-2 draw with Leicester City u-21 on Friday evening. 

Fulham started the game well, Martial Godo almost caught the Leicester defense off guard early on, aiming for a weak header back to goalie Brad Young.

On seven minutes, Wickens was called in into play at the other end. Chris Popov of Leicester raced down the right before cutting in and seeing his curling left-footed attempt parried wide.

The young Whites were having a good time as they searched for a path through. Dibley-Dias attempted a daring long-range effort, but his half-volley sailed wide.

Fulham got a penalty after Terry Ablade was wiped out by Young in the area, Luke Harris stepped up to tuck his penalty into the bottom left corner.

Fulham received second penalty of the game on the brink of half-time for a hand-ball in the area, but on this occasion, Harris' identical penalty was well saved.

The young Foxes made a decent start to the second half as they went on the hunt for the equaliser.

A set piece led to the second goal of the game. The pacey free-kick was fired across the six-yard box and Ablade diverted the ball into his own net as a result.

Luke Harris made it 2-1 in the 72nd minute for Fulham and Leicester scored their equalizer through Kian Pennant in the 84th minute.
