Norwich City Under-18s saw their unbeaten run come to an end, falling to a 3-1 defeat against Chelsea in the Under-18 Premier League South.

Tyler Williams had the game's first chance, snatching at an effort that would go wide of the post.

A corner routine saw Norwich create another opportunity, with Lloyd Ofori-Manteaw seeing his shot saved by the goalkeeper.

Ofori-Manteaw then slipped a pass through to La'Sean Sealey, whose eventual shot was saved and cleared by the Chelsea defence.

Chelsea would create opportunities of their own, with Sol Gordon and Ryan Kavuma-McQueen registering shots.

And shortly after, the away side would take the lead. Kavuma-McQueen led a counter attack, cut inside a defender before firing into the bottom corner.

The Canaries almost found an equaliser early into the second half, as Vatan Ozcan's effort hit the side-netting.

Henry Bullen was called into action down the other end, making saves from Gordon and Yahya Idrissi.

Corke then had a couple of chances to level, forcing saves from Chelsea goalkeeper Hudson Sands.

Chelsea doubled their lead through Reggie Walsh, whose side-footed effort from the edge of the area found the bottom corner.

Genesis Antwi saw red for Chelsea, as the Blues would end the game with ten men.

In stoppage time, Chelsea added a third as Gordon headed in from close range.

Norwich would find a consolation, as Toby Chilvers fired in from long range, but it would be defeat for the Canaries.

The Under-18s return to action after the international break, as they travel away to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Under-18 Premier League Cup.
