Could North really have five clubs? Assuming South does not have a long spade or heart suit (no overcall), surely the early play indicates that South was more likely to have any club length. In that case it's correct to cash A at trick seven. When North shows out declarer can cross to
A, throw a club on
K and exit with a spade to punish South for his very careless low spade discard. At the table a not-very-masterful South was lucky, for declarer preferred to play North for the club length.and went one light.
