Leeds United U21 2-2 Norwich City U21 highlights: Joseph and Perkins score again

HT: Leeds United U21s 1-1 Norwich City U21s

Competitive first half which saw Mateo Joseph grab his fifth of the season early on. Norwich hit back immediately. Since then, a good contest with plenty of bite.

42' SAVE! Springett shoots low but Harry Christy is down to get a strong right-hand to it.

'20 yards or 30 yards...’

41’ Klich bends one from 20 yards but it’s just wide of the mark. Still 1-1.

38’ Perkins with a reverse pass into Drameh down the right, who crosses low again. Joseph almost there but out for a corner as Norwich clear.

35’ Close one. Summerville beats his man with a neat piece of skill and clips one to the far post. Norwich ‘keeper scrambling to cover the angle but it drifts just wide.

34' Mateo Joseph with another sight at goal but sees his firm effort blocked. Norwich very compact defensively. Forshaw seeing plenty of the ball in deeper areas.

29' Mullen booked for a handball as Norwich broke forward. Canaries wanted a red.

27’ Brave punch clear from Christy as a Norwich ball is floated into the far post.

23’ Summerville picks up a lofted crossfield pass and has a lot to do but takes on his man and works a shooting angle after cutting in. Into the sidenetting.

Klich plays in Perkins moments later but he’s flagged off.

19’ Drameh’s whipped low cross is flicked on by Joseph inside the box and Summerville’s effort is smothered by the ‘keeper.
