Norwich City beats Southampton 2-1 on Saturday at Carrow Road. Both Norwich and Soton arrived in good form, having secured victories in their previous matches.

Soton started strongly in the first half, with an early goal from Che Adams in the 4th minute. However, their lead was short lived, as Teemu Pukki equalised for The Canaries in the 7th minute to see out the first half 1-1.

Norwich rallied after this and were rewarded, thanks to a goal from Grant Hanley, 79 minutes in, leaving the final score at 2-1.

Norwich brought on Josh Sargent, Lukas Rupp and Christos Tzolis for Todd Cantwell, Billy Gilmour and Milot Rashica. Soton brought on Armando Broja, Theo Walcott and Lyanco, to replace Mohamed Elyounoussi, Che Adams and Oriol Romeu.
