Patrick Vieira’s young charges made it six wins on the bounce to claim a place in the quarter-finals of the Under-21 League Cup with a 2-0 win over West Brom.

Having won 2-0 at the Hawthorns in the league last week, the Blues were favourites to progress, but the stubborn Baggies held them goalless until half- time.

But eight minutes after the re-start, Devante Cole created an opening on the left and crossed for Seko Fofana to drill a low shot into the corner.

Substitute Sinan Bytyqi helped to ensure the victory two minutes after arriving, finding his way through the West Brom defence to tee-up an easy finish for Cole.

City: Lawlor, Drury, Facey, Denayer, Leigh, Huws, Lopes (Bryan 85), Fofana, Hiwula, Glendon (Bytyqi 69), Cole (Pozo 80).
