Kevin Keen’s West Ham U18 lost 3-0 to Norwich U18 on Saturday morning in Little Heath in the U18 Premier League South

Oscar Thorn put Norwich ahead, finding the bottom corner with a controlled finish after Alex Matos’ lay-off. Just five minutes before half-time, however, Norwich’s lead began to look insurmountable. Following a West Ham corner, the Canaries countered at pace and after a strike towards his near post was parried away by Serine Sanneh, Joe Duffy powered the ball home.

Norwich killed off the game as Manos made no mistake from outside the box with a low curling effort to make it 3-0 to the visitors.

West Ham U18s’ next game is against the Saints on Saturday 19 December at Staplewood Training Ground.
