Facing a physically larger Canaries side, the Spurs boys set about their task and held out against a storming opening 25 minutes from the home side, but then started to form their own attacks, keeping the Norwich keeper busy.

The second half was a different matter, with Spurs moving the ball better and their movement caused City problems, resulting in the opening goal in the 65th minute, as Jake Nicholson and Paul McBride made inroads, with the latter setting up Nicholson for the goal that gave Spurs the upper hand.

McBride was replaced by Laste Dombaxe, making his first appearance for the club and it took him only five minutes to put Harry Kane away and the striker unselfishly squared the ball to Kudus Oyenuga to apply the simple finishing touch to round off the 2-0 victory.

Spurs put on a well-oiled performance to see off the young Canaries and took a first half lead, Lee Fulling playing the ball through to Anthony Potts to find the net.  When the game got physical int he second half, Norwich found a way back into the match with a 65th minute breakaway goal.

However, the Spurs response came just five minutes later, when Greg Howell scored the winner with a volley.

Both sides played open, attacking football and Spurs had the three outstanding performers in the match in Matthew Edwards, David Tuttle and Shaun Murray.

The goal that won the match was special, coming in the 20th minute, as Edwards headed the ball away from a Norwich attack and it was picked up by Murray.  He then went on a run that ended with him picking a precise shot past the Norwich keeper to score.  The Canaries’ keeper then denied Peter Garland and Murray to keep his side in the game, with a late fight back repelled by the solid Spurs defence to see them through to Round 2 and a meeting with Southampton.

Teams :
Spurs –  Mark Hughes, Des Walker, E. Eleftheriou, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Cox, Mark Bowen, Robert Brace, P. Murphy, Mike McCabe, Terry Robbins, David Hawkes (Gary Rudkin)

Tottenham Youth were 0-2 behind at half-time, but when Mark Bowen scored a fantastic goal from 20 yards out (described by coach Ron Henry as the best goal he had ever seen), it looked like there might be a way back into the game.  That hope was extinguished when Norwich scored their third goal form the penalty spot and the dismissal of Steve Cox compounded the team’s disappointment.
