NORWICH City's Under-18s missed out on three points against Arsenal on Saturday in the Under-18 Premier League.

The search for the opening goal ended after 17 minutes when Benny Ashley-Seal slotted the ball home past Gunners 'keeper Joao Virginia.

City went into the break a goal to the good having kept the visitors at bay for the rest of the first half.

The young Canaries maintained their 1-0 lead despite Arsenal piling on the pressure but City cracked in the 87th minute when wideman Zechariah Medley beat Hale-Brown with a powerful strike.

With the Gunners having scored a late equaliser they showed no signs of settling for a point and with Norwich on the back foot, substitute Emile Smith-Rowe scored in added time to steal all the points from City.
