Michael Bareck scored a last-minute winner as Town’s U18s beat their Norwich counterparts 3-2 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Playford Road this afternoon.
The Blues went ahead just before the half hour via a deflected free-kick from Zanda Siziba, who scored the U18s’ goal in Saturday’s 4-1 Professional Development League Two South defeat at Charlton.
Town extended their lead almost immediately when trialist Jesse Nwabueze netted from the penalty spot. The Nigerian wideman has been with the academy since pre-season having been at Crystal Palace for the past couple of years.
After the break, Norwich levelled via goals from Ola Okeowo and Abu Kamara on 53 and 80 but the Blues weren’t to be denied their victory, Bareck (pictured) stabbing home in the final minute.
