Norwich City correspondent Michael Bailey delivers his video verdict and analysis, as the Canaries kick off the Championship weekend with a huge home win over Swansea – thanks to the magic of Emi Buendia.
For once it was a solitary goal that decided a game at Carrow Road – and a majestic one at that, with Buendia rifling home a strike of pure quality on 54 minutes.
That proved enough despite a excellent performance from Graham Potters’ transitioning Swans, who made life particularly uncomfortable for Daniel Farke’s side in the first half.
However, Norwich’s quality told in the end – and City extended their lead over automatic promotion rivals Leeds and Sheffield United ahead of their games on Saturday.
