Having lost the first leg 3 - 1, The Citizens got off to a dream start when Iheanacho converted Aaron Nemane’s cross from the byline in the fifth minute.
Their lead didn’t last long though, with Brown leveling matters for the Chelsea under 18s in the 19th minute.
On 22 minutes, Kelechi Iheanacho would have restored City’s one - goal advantage on the night, only for Collins to make a fine save.
