Norwich City Under-21s were 6-0 winners away to Manchester City, as they ended 2023 on a winning note.
Alan Neilson's side was a strong one at the Joie Stadium, with a number of first-team players involved for the Premier League 2 fixture.
Ken Aboh had the game's first chance, seeing his effort saved well by George Murray-Jones in the Man City goal.
Man City would have an effort of their own shortly after, as Josh Adam fired wide.
The Canaries would go on to dominate the first half. Guilherme Montóia was next to threaten as he was found by Kellen Fisher but the shot was saved.
Liam Gibbs then had a couple of efforts, but both chances were off-target for the midfielder.
Murray-Jones continued to make a number of impressive saves, denying efforts from Adam Forshaw, Finley Welch and Montóia.
But just before half-time, Norwich would be given the chance to open the scoring from the penalty spot after Kian Noble handled on the line. Noble saw red for the handball, and Aboh fired in from the spot to put the Canaries ahead.
Tony Springett doubled Norwich's lead in the second half, finding the bottom corner well from Forshaw's pass.
Chances continued to flow for Norwich, and Springett added his second of the game with a neat header from Fisher's clipped cross.
And two minutes later, Joe Duffy added our fourth. A great team goal involving a few nice passes resulted in Duffy scoring at the back post.
Emmanuel Adegboyega then set up Duffy for the fifth of the afternoon, crossing in for the winger to side-foot in.
Then late on, Przemysław Płacheta completed the scoring as he netted from close range.
