Norwich City`s U18 side came from behind twice to beat Derby in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup at Carrow Road on Friday night.

Derby, who had beaten Manchester United in the previous round, took an early fourth minute lead after some slack City defending.

Norwich equalised in the 13th minute from Alan Fleming but we`re 1-2 down in the 19th minute when Derby`s Jayden Bogle scored from a free kick.

The match saw Derby have the lion`s share of the possession but thanks to a trip on Fleming in the 80th minute, City were awarded a penalty that Bilal Kamal slotted home.

There was more drama in normal time though as Ryan Dickerson saved a last minute Derby penalty to send the game into extra time.

The game headed into the extra 30 minutes but City were able to grip the game when Odusina smashed home the loose ball from a corner and then there was the final nail for Derby when Anthony Spyrou scored from a tight angle with just 10 minutes to go.

FT 4-2

Well done lads, now into the fifth round, where City will face either Newcastle or Crystal Palace at Carrow Road.
