Norwich beat Aston Villa 4-3 at Carrow Road and reach the quarter-finals of the Premier League International Cup after finishing top of Group E. 

Keinan Davis headed Aston Villa into the lead on the half hour mark but James Maddison equalised 12 minutes later, only for Jerell Sellars to restore the visitors' lead from 30 yards just before the break.

Carlton Morris made it 2-2 straight after half-time, Davis put Villa in front in the 53rd minute before Canaries substitute Glenn Middleton quickly levelled and Diallang Jaiyesimi hit the winner. That gives Norwich nine points from their three group matches - six ahead of third-placed Villa, who are out of the competition. 

Norwich are back in action on Monday lunchtime when they entertain Fulham in Premier League 2 at their training centre, while Villa are home to Middlesbrough at Villa Park that evening.
