Norwich City Under-18s exited the FA Youth Cup after a penalty defeat away to Burnley.

Burnley progressed into the next round of the competition via a penalty shoot-out, winning 7-6 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Westley opened the scoring for the hosts just after the half-hour mark, with the Canaries registering chances through Dubem Eze and Michael Reindorf.

The equaliser did come in the second half, as Waylon Renecke headed in from Reindorf's cross.

There was nothing to separate the two sides in 90 minutes, as the game headed to extra-time.

Finley Welch put the Canaries ahead after 103 minutes, dispatching from the spot after being fouled in the area.

But the game would head to penalties after Wane's equaliser five minutes from the end.

And from the resulting shoot-out, Burnley would prevail. Going to sudden death, Grant scored the deciding penalty to send Burnley through.
