The second half however saw United take the lead on 60 minutes with a breakaway goal before they doubled their lead on 75 minutes. City pushed forward looking to get themselves back into the game and they had a couple of good opportunities in the dying minutes but they failed to convert them.
Norwich City U18: Rudd, Francomb, Habergham, Stephens, Kelly, Adeyemi (Omereie 50), Dawkin, Smith, Lathrope, Renton (Davey 80), Daley.
