The 19-year-old scored the only goal at Filbert Street - his eighth goal of the season - after 66 minutes, picking up a pass from John Aldridge on the left and driving home from 15 yards.
The referee, Kevin Lynch, was at the centre of a late penalty controversy as Norwich City held on to beat Ipswich Town 2-1 at Carrow Road.
Ipswich looked set to take a point with three minutes remaining when Lynch pointed to the spot after Claus Thomsen went down under challenge from Ashley Ward. But as Town's veteran defender John Wark stepped up to take his second penalty in the space of five minutes, the referee had a change of heart after being persuaded to consult a linesman.
Norwich's defenders were adamant that Thomsen had taken a dive, and Lynch seemed to back up their claims by rewarding the home side a free-kick instead.
City, who move up to joint fifth place in the table, went ahead after just eight minutes when the defender Jon Newsome headed home. Robert Fleck then appeared to make the points safe with a glorious 71st-minute strike, volleying home from just inside the area.
Eight minutes from time when Robert Ullathorne was penalised for holding in the area and Wark, playing a record 24th East Anglian derby, blasted in the spot-kick.
