Minutes earlier, City's Jose Pozo La Rosa was found a card after clashing with Hanson in a off-the-ball-incident. Annoying night: Manchester City could not find a method past Derby and to the FA Youth Cup sixth circular OUTSTANDING FIFTH ROUND MATCHES TonightHull Town v Leicester City (7pm at North Ferriby United Hamilton Academical) TomorrowLiverpool v Leeds United (7pm at Anfield) QUARTER-FINAL DRAWHull City or Leicester Town v Liverpool or Leeds UnitedDerby County v ChelseaEverton v Norwich CityNottingham Forest v Bolton Wanderers City wasted a fantastic chance to have a sixth-minute guide when Devante Cole - daughter of former Man United person Andrew - was played through on purpose by Marcos Lopes but failed to get round goalkeeper Ross Etheridge, who'd raced off his line to smother the ball. With the whole first team squad watching, Derby's under-18s were keen to impress, and got the overall game to City with a high-tempo, fighting approach. Striker Mason Bennett was sent through on nine minutes by Wixted, but struck the bottom of the article with City keeper Ian Lawlor defeated. Derby continued to create chances, but didn't gain their reward until two minutes following the system. Bennett teed up reach partner Kwame Thomas, whose work was pushed away by Lawlor straight into the road of Wixted to report from inside the six-yard box. It absolutely was the first time City had fallen behind in the competition this season and Etheridge had to be on top form to reject Kean Bryan's close-range attempt as the Premier League side came ultimately back in to the game. 10 men: City's FA Youth Cup campaign was effortlessly over when Pozo was sent off with 5 minutes remaining Derby County: Etheridge, Hayes, Lelan, Hanson, Lowe, Dales, Wixted (Revan 83), Dawkins, Sharpe (Wassall 90), Bennett, Thomas (Rawson 90) Subs Not Used: Vernam, Johnson Manchester City: Lawlor, Facey, Leigh, Evans (Glendon 90), Plummer, Bossaerts, Bytyqi, Ntcham (Bryan 56), Cole, Lopes (McHale 90), Pozo Manhattan project Rosa Subs Perhaps not Used: Gunn, Marin Attendance: 1,256 But any potential for getting back into the link properly concluded when Pozo left his base in and brought down Hanson. A straight red card was produced by referee Declan Ford. In the closing minutes, Hanson curled a right-sided free-kick to set up a property experience with Chelsea in the next round. Derby Academy boss Dean Wassall was proud of his team's performance. He told dcfc.co.uk: 'We are pleased and excited with the lads because their performance was exemplary from the initial second to the last, and they've done Derby County happy. 'Manchester City possess some extremely talented people in their group, signed from the likes of Real Madrid and Benfica, therefore to come out on top over the 90 minutes is great for everyone associated with the team. 'The attitude, request, motivation and character of the people was fantastic and we are really proud of them.' Composed? Derby deserved their place and victory in the last ten Norwich: Britt, Norman, Wyatt, McGeehan (c), McFadden, Toffolo, Jacob Murphy, Hall-Johnson, Morris, King (Young 77), Josh Murphy Subs not used: Lokko, Swatman, Carroll, Randall Birmingham: Townsend, Bernard (Ebanks 46), Moseley (O'Neill 83), Brown, Fry (D), Thomson, Adams, Truslove, Hales, Arthur, Gray (Soloman-Otabor 78) Subs not used: Kalenda, Preston Derby will be registered in the quarter-finals by Norwich City, who saw off Birmingham City in more time to set up a trip to Everton within the next round. The Carrow Road crowd found Norwich take the lead with just 13 minutes remaining through Jacob Murphy, but Birmingham required extra time through an injury time equaliser by George O'Neill. The Canaries were the stronger part in extra time and earned their reward with seven minutes left when chief Cameron McGeehan rose best to meet up a Josh Murphy free-kick. Norwich nearly had the lead directly from the kick-off, when Reece Hall-Johnson fired off a shot in the penalty box, simply to view it skip the goal. At one other end, Birmingham's Bobby Moseley sent a dipping shot just on the crossbar. The Championship side had their finest opening of the half when William Britt saved well from Reece Hales after Cameron Norman had plugged Liam Truslove's attempt. The second half took a while to spark, with the breakthrough finally coming on 77 minutes. Reece Hall-Johnson found Jacob Murphy on the right, and he burst into the penalty box to fire into the far corner. Murphy then hit the crossbar minutes later - and Norwich might live to regret not taking the chance. In five full minutes of stoppage time, an extended Birmingham ball found O'Neill, a replacement, and he placed the ball under Britt. Edward Murphy was twice rejected by the keeper in more time, but Norwich did fundamentally secure their place in the last ten. Josh Murphy swung a free-kick right into a dangerous place and McGeehan obtained together with his mind.
