Norwich 2-1 Blackburn: Canaries clinch promotion back to the Premier League
Norwich have been promoted back to the Premier League.Daniel Farke’s Canaries beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Carrow Road to seal automatic promotion from the Championship with a match to spare.Goals from Marco Stiepermann and Mario Vrancic put Daniel Farke’s side 2-0 up inside 20 minutes, only for Lewis Travis to pull one back immediately for the visitors.That was how it stayed, despite chance after chance for the home side – but it mattered not one jot as Norwich claimed the three points that left them in pole position to clinch the title ahead of Sheffield United at Aston Villa next weekend.Daniel Farke has done an outstanding job at Carrow Road2

Norwich, who only needed a point to confirm a return to the top flight after a three-year absence, dominated a pulsating opening period and should have had promotion wrapped up at the break.Playing the attractive brand of passing football that has been their hallmark all season, the Canaries created chance after chance but only took two of them and let Rovers back in it almost immediately after making it 2-0.It was one-way traffic from the word go and Onel Hernandez fired a low shot just wide on eight minutes before dithering too long after being put in by Emi Buendia five minutes later.But a packed home crowd only had seconds to wait for the opener. The ball was not properly cleared and broke nicely on the edge of the box for Stiepermann, who drilled a low shot past Jayson Leutwiler for his second opening goal in successive home games.Top scorer Teemu Pukki and Buendia both went close to stretching the lead before a controversial moment when Darragh Lenihan was only shown a yellow card by referee Andrew Madley after bringing down Pukki as the Finnish frontman bore down on goal.Leutwiler, on only his fourth league appearance of the season as David Raya’s deputy, then made superb point-blank saves to deny first Hernandez and then Pukki but again Blackburn could not clear their lines andVrancic was able to take aim before arrowing a magnificent 25-yard shot into the top corner to make it 2-0.Mario Vrancic celebrates after scoring Norwich’s second goal2

Norwich looked in complete command at that point but Rovers quickly dampened the party mood by pulling one back from their first effort on goal. Amari’i Bell worked himself some space on the left and did well to pick out the unmarked Travis on the edge of the box. The midfielder coolly curled the ball beyond Tim Krul’s grasp to get his side back in it.Normal service was soon resumed however, with Leutwiler thwarting Pukki after he looked sure to score from a Stiepermann cutback and Hernandez sending a low shot inches wide of the far post.The Blackburn keeper made a world-class save to keep out Buendia’s audacious deflected overhead kick from just outside the six-yard box after a scramble following a corner, while Hernandez was desperately unlucky when his right-foot piledriver hit the angle of post and bar with the overworked Leutwiler a mere spectator on this occasion.All Blackburn had to offer was a Bradley Dack free-kick from a dangerous position that sailed way over and Norwich twice went close to stretching their advantage in the 74th minute, as first Hernandez was crowded out after bursting clean through and then Stiepermann was denied by the latest top-drawer save from Leutwiler when his shot looked destined for the bottom corner.
