Norwich City rally to topple leaders after the break | OneFootball

Norwich City beat Coventry City 2-1 at Carrow Road to climb from 20th to 18th in the Championship, handing the leaders a rare setback.

In the 38th minute, Romain Esse swept Coventry ahead with a left-footed finish from the left side of the box.

After the restart, Anis Ben Slimane levelled from close range from Ali Ahmed's through ball (46.). Ephron Mason-Clark then struck the bar from a set piece (56.) before Papa Diallo teed up Ahmed to rifle the winner high (67.). It was Ahmed's first goal for the Canaries since joining this season.

Vladan Kovacevic kept the Canaries in it with sharp saves from Haji Wright either side of the break, while Jay Dasilva also forced a low stop as the visitors pushed.

The Canaries registered 16 attempts and won 75.0% of their tackles.

The Canaries visit Middlesbrough next. Coventry City travel to Queens Park Rangers next.
