A brace by Chris Martin and single reply from Ameobi, was enough to give  City a well deserved victory at Carrow Road this afternoon, City more than held their own against their premiership opponents.

Martin's first came after some trickery from the Irish master Wes Hoolahan, he picked up on a sloppy pass rounded two defenders before crossing the ball to Martin for a tap into the empty net.   His second came onthe 75th minute some fine work by Macnamee, who hadn't been on the field that long,  Martin rose with the Newcastle defence to meet MacNamee's cross to flick the ball into the bottom corner, it may have got a touch on a defenders head on it's way.

Sandwiched in between came Ameobi's goal, Xisco cuts inside finding Ameobi who takes a quick touch before slotting the ball between Ruddy's legs.

A very good work out for the players in front of a respectable crowd of 13,195, Paul Lambert must be very satisfied with the work rate and application of his players as he starts to formulate his starting eleven ahead of the opening game in about a fortnight's time.
