In this coverage, we focus on the Premier League Cup game between Charlton Athletic U21 and Norwich City U21 that took place on the 9th of October 2023 at 18:00 EEST. This turned out to be a very one-sided game in favor of Norwich City U21, who managed a whopping 5-0 victory.

Despite the slight quantitative advantage in yellow cards from Charlton Athletic U21, with a total of 2 compared to Norwich's 5, it was quite evident that this didn't manage to disrupt the flow and offensive actions of the Norwich team. Moreover, the yellow cards were distributed throughout the second half, with the times ranging from 00:47:13 to 01:28:28, and were somewhat evenly spaced, which indicates that they had no effective impact on the gameplay of Norwich.

It could also be observed that Norwich managed a total of 6 corner kicks in comparison to Charlton's 4. This display of offensive gameplay surely must have been a deciding factor that aided in the pressure they were putting on their opponent's defence line. The frequent corners could have been instrumental in the creation of scoring opportunities, especially seeing that 4 of the 5 goals were made in the second half.

The matter of offside calls is another interesting aspect that drew our attention. The home team had 2 offsides against them to the away team's 1. This further validates the fact that Norwich was able to unlock Charlton's defence more effectively. The ability to maintain their positioning against the high defensive line of Charlton is a strong testament to the superior ball possession and control exhibited by Norwich.

When analysing the timeframe of the goals, all (but one) were scored in the second half of the match. This data seemingly portrays that Norwich took full advantage of any possible half-time tactical tweaks and came out stronger in the second half, dominating the game and finding the net four times. The time frames 00:59:04, 01:02:13, 01:16:42 and 01:32:47, of the goals further solidify this understanding.

In conclusion, based on the available statistics, Norwich City U21 exhibited a more dominant gameplay, superior control over the ball along with better team coordination, which led to their triumph over Charlton Athletic U21 in this Premier League Cup match.
