Decisive figure lifts Norwich City with game-changing opener | OneFootball

Anis Ben Slimane broke the deadlock in the 68th minute with a low strike from outside the box, setting Norwich City up to beat Leicester City 2-0.

Off the bench, Slimane took Samuel Field's pass and drilled into the bottom left from range (68.), the moment that handed the initiative to the Canaries.

From there, the Canaries leaned on his tidy link play between the lines, with three successful final third passes from eight overall to keep attacks moving and relieve pressure.

He finished with two attempts, both on target, plus one tackle won and one aerial duel won across 17 touches, underlining a sharp, efficient cameo that changed the tone of the contest.

His fresh legs and direct shooting asked different questions of the Foxes' defence, allowing the Canaries to play higher and manage the key phases.

The Canaries visit Leeds United in the FA Cup next, while the Foxes travel to Ipswich Town in the Championship.
