Norwich City supporters have expressed their pride at the Canaries performance against Manchester United during the 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Carrow Road.
Todd Cantwell’s 75th minute equaliser cancelled out Odion Ighalo’s opener - but Harry Maguire’s late winner saw United progress to the semi-finals of the competition.
The England defender, who moments earlier had a header brilliantly saved by Tim Krul, reacted sharply to turn in the loose ball at the far post.
Timm Klose saw red late on for a professional foul on Ighalo - the Swiss will serve a one-match suspension and will miss City’s trip to Arsenal in midweek.
City were resolute out of possession and had opportunities to win the game through Emi Buendia and Onel Hernandez.
