Parfitt-Williams & West Ham Remain Unbeaten
Djair Parfitt-Williams and his West Ham United teammates maintained their unbeaten opening to their Barclays U18 Premier League season, drawing 0-0 with Leicester City in their first home fixture on Saturday [Aug 23].
The team was coming off of a 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion to open their season – a game in which Parfitt-Williams scored.
The official West Ham United FC website said, “After a quiet opening 40 minutes, the game sprang into life when Alex Pike was penalised and Leicester were awarded a spot-kick, only for the ball to be blasted over the crossbar by the taker.
“Into the second half and Leicester saw two further efforts blocked before West Ham took control and almost nicked all three points late on.
“The Hammers’ youngsters return to action at Little Heath on August 30 when they host Tottenham Hotspur.”
