Devonte Aransibia’s late penalty cancelled out an early goal from Archie Davies to earn a point for the home side.
Albion started the match very brightly and scored from the game’s first attack. David Ajiboye’s cross was cleared, but only to Davies, who rifled the ball into the top right-hand corner.
Davies was involved in the thick of the action again just moments later, as he showed great pace to latch onto Mandroiu’s through ball, but his first-time cross was cleared just before it reached the feet of Ajiboye.
Albion had another chance when Davies forced Norwich keeper Fergal Hale-Brown into a fine save following a good one-two with Mandroiu.
With half an hour played, Davies could have had a hat-trick, but for another great save from Hale-Brown.
Rian O’Sullivan’s cross met the run of Mandriou who headed the ball onto the unmarked Davies, but Hale-Brown charged off his line to block his shot.
Max Sanders was next to come close for the Seagulls, who hit the crossbar with a shot from just outside the box.
