Morris and Dozzell on Target But U18s Exit Youth Cup at Forest - Ipswich Town News

Ben Morris and Andre Dozzell were on target but Town’s U18s were defeated 4-2 by Nottingham Forest after extra time at the City Ground to exit the FA Youth Cup at the third round stage.

Toby Edser put the home side in front with a freekick in the 27th minute but striker Morris hit back for the young Blues eight minutes after the break.

Virgil Gomis restored Forest’s lead on 84 but three minutes Dozzell's freekick levelled the scores once again to take the game into extra-time.

However, Ben Brereton made it 3-2 in the 97th minute and then 4-2 three minutes later to see the East Midlanders through to round four and Town out of the competition, which they won in 1973, 1975 and 2005, at the first hurdle.

U18s: Wright, Woolfenden, Ndaba, Downes, Cathline (Cahill 89), Webber, McKendry, Dozzell, Morris (Daniels 87), Folami, Meldrum (McGavin 60). Unused: Clements, Hayes.
