Amankwah Forson's late strike capped a stirring Norwich City comeback as the Canaries overturned a first-half deficit to beat Sheffield United 2-1 at Carrow Road in the Championship. Trailing to Jairo Riedewald's early finish, Norwich roared back through Jack Stacey's powerful header and Forson's clinical 84th-minute winner to extend their impressive recent run.
The result, Norwich's eighth win in 10 league games and third successive victory, lifts Philippe Clement's injury-hit side up to 15th in the table. For United, who had looked in control for long spells after taking the lead, it was an 18th league defeat of the season and a setback that drops them to 13th, now only a point ahead of their hosts.
Blades Punish Early Slackness To Take Control
Norwich actually began with reasonable control of possession, but their play lacked the composure and rhythm Clement demands. In contrast, Sheffield United grew increasingly threatening on transitions and were rewarded around the 20-minute mark when a sharp move down the left carved the hosts open.
