Norwich City Under-21s were winners in their penultimate Premier League 2 game of the season, claiming a 4-3 victory away to Everton.
Norwich went in front with their first chance on goal. A corner was cleared to the edge of the area, where Brandon Forbes volleyed with the outside of his foot into the top corner.
The home side did look to find an immediate equaliser and came close via Owen Barker. Roman Dixon's surging run led to a good cross, but Barker couldn't find the target with his side-footed effort.
And shortly after, Everton would find their equaliser. Jacob Beaumont-Clark's cross was perfect for Martin Sherif to head beyond Dan Barden to level.
Lewis Shipley came close to restoring the Norwich lead, seeing his volleyed effort palmed out for a corner by Everton goalkeeper Zan Luk Leban.
Just after the half-hour mark, Norwich were back ahead. Harmony Okwumo's pin-point cross was met by Toby Chilvers who headed in.
Okwumo almost added his name to the scoresheet following a sweeping move by the Canaries, but his effort was tipped over the crossbar.
Norwich would add their third goal of the first half in stoppage time. A corner landed in a melee of players, with Billy Gee reacting to force the ball over the line.
Errol Mundle-Smith started the second half brightly as he latched onto a loose ball and came forward. He managed to get to the by-line, but his eventual effort was snuffed out by the Everton defence.
Everton came within one goal via George Morgan, who turned well and poked beyond Barden to score.
And three minutes later, Everton were level. A fantastic volley from Francis Gomez gave Barden no chance as it flew into the top corner.
But Norwich would find a way back in front. AJ Bridge threaded a ball forward to Harry Brooke, who rounded the goalkeeper and put the ball on a plate for Finlay Corke to score.
