Read what happened as Manchester City Under-18s took on West Brom in their penultimate U18 Premier League clash of the season...

Nabil Touaizi kicked-off the proceedings with a 3rd minute goal at the West Bromwich Albion training ground.

City continued to hold onto the lead as the sides entered the break, but the home side returned to the pitch with an equaliser in their sights.

Nicholas Clayton-Phillips clinched the leveller in the 65th minute, helped by Finn Azaz – who sealed an assist.

Gareth Taylor’s side responded in the perfect way, with Touaizi netting his second of the match just minutes after the Baggies’ equaliser.

City’s strength and power meant that the young side marched on to secure the Blues’ 11th Under-18 Premier League victory of the season.
