Norwich City's Under-23s almost pulled off an astonishing comeback in their Premier League Cup clash with Wolves – after going 4-0 down early in the second half.
A hat-trick from Paul Gladon and another goal from Cameron John had put the hosts in complete control at Telford, but the young Canaries then showed their battling qualities by making a real game of it.
A quick-fire brace from Diallang Jayesimi reduced the arrears to 4-2 before a penalty from Louis McIntosh in injury-time ensured it was a nervous finale for the hosts.
The game saw midfielder Conor McGrandles return to the squad after nearly a year on the sidelines with a double leg break sustained during a loan spell with his first club Falkirk in February..
City Under-23s: Killip; Efete, Odusina, Crowe, Syme; Grant, Adams, McIntosh; Jaiyesimi, Middleton, Ashley-Seal. Subs: Hallett, Wallis, Lewis, McGrandles, Higgs.
League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers have signed former City defender Kyle Callan-McFadden. The Republic of Ireland under-21 international, who started his career with the Canaries and made one senior apperance, has joined from MLS club Orlando City.

'Kyle is an excellent defender first and foremost, that is the reason why we have signed him,' said Sligo boss Dave Robertson.
'I have seen him play and he is a defender with tenacity, a willingness to defend and good ability on the ball. He is also a very strong leader.'
On-loan City midfielder Tony Andreu scored the winner as Dundee United beat Scottish Championship leaders Hibernian 1-0 at Tannadice. Andreu converted a 73rd minute penalty to take the hosts level with points with Hibs and behind them only on goal difference.
