Unseen hero sets Norwich City on course against Sheffield Wednesday

Mathias Kvistgaarden broke the game open in the 31st minute with a close-range header, setting Norwich City on their way to a 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

He threatened twice in quick succession, first thudding a point-blank header against the bar and then nodding in from close range (31.). That burst flipped momentum and gave the Canaries a platform.

Kvistgaarden kept stretching The Owls' back line with constant runs across the front, twice winning possession in the attacking third to pin them back. He was withdrawn as the Canaries tightened control (63.).

He finished with four attempts, two on target, and 10 touches in the box, underlining how his movement provided a reliable outlet and consistent penalty-area presence.

The Canaries are 17th in the table. They visit Leicester City next, while The Owls host Southampton.
