In what looks like being the final evening reserve game, the Canaries' second string beat West Ham 2-1 in a friendly at Carrow Road on Monday night, with 1,890 fans watching from the Jarrold Stand.
Cody McDonald opened the scoring for the Canaries in the opening minute, with Paul McVeigh doubling the home advantage after the break. Substitute Jack Werndly pounced on an error from keeper Michael Theoklitos to grab a late consolation for the Hammers.
