Norwich City edge Derby as Gibbs delivers and Kovacevic excels | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Norwich City beat Derby County 2-1 in the Championship at Carrow Road. In the 33rd minute, Mohamed Touré swept the Canaries in front after Amankwah Forson's pass. After the restart, the Rams levelled through David Ozoh (54.). Derby produced eight shots on target, but Vladan Kovacevic repeatedly denied them. Liam Gibbs struck the winner (60.), and the Canaries host Swansea City next while Derby visit Queens Park Rangers.

Player of the Match: Vladan Kovacevic anchored the result with seven saves, including sharp late stops to deny Joe Ward and Carlton Morris.

Stat of the Match: Vladan Kovacevic made seven saves, the decisive barrier on a night when Derby worked the goalkeeper often.

Three Things We Learned: Touré responded to his early penalty miss with the opener, showing composure after that setback. Edmond-Paris Maghoma created four chances and provided the assist for Gibbs, a constant link through midfield. The Rams' delivery kept coming with 13 crosses and four corners, yet their offside tally of five blunted attacks.
