Match report

Norwich came from 2-0 down to beat Watford 3-2 at Carrow Road, with Paris Maghoma's 71st-minute goal completing the turnaround after Myron Boadu had put the visitors two up.

Watford struck first in the 10th minute when Boadu opened the scoring from Iker Bravo's pass to make it 1-0, and he added his second on 27 minutes after Matthew Pollock's assist for 2-0. Pollock was booked on 41 minutes, and Watford took that two-goal lead into half-time.

Norwich started the recovery through Benjamin Chrisene on 53 minutes, and Anthony Musaba levelled on 62 minutes from Mathias Kvistgaarden's assist. Jose Cordoba was booked on 63 minutes before Maghoma, also set up by Kvistgaarden, put Norwich in front on 71 minutes. Both sides then made double changes, with Norwich making two substitutions on 72 minutes and Watford responding with two on 75 minutes, while Norwich made another two on 81 minutes and Watford did the same on 82 minutes. Norwich still had the last word with a 90th-minute change, Jack Stacey off and Kellen Fisher on, as they saw out the win.

The numbers backed Norwich's territorial edge. They had 59% of the ball, 504 passes to Watford's 357, 14 shots to 8 and 9 corners to 2. Both sides finished with 5 shots on target, 1 offside and 3 saves, while Norwich posted 1.08 expected goals to Watford's 1.

There were only two bookings, with Matthew Pollock booked for Watford on 41 minutes and Jose Cordoba booked for Norwich on 63 minutes. There were no red cards.
