Daniel Farke spoke to the media again this afternoon, fresh from Norwich City’s dramatic 2-2 home draw with Reading at Carrow Road last night.
The Canaries stormed back with two goals in three minutes to claim a late lead against the lowly Royals but wild celebrations were cut short by an Andy Rinomhota equaliser in the seventh minute of injury-time.
With Sheffield United being held to a 1-1 draw at Birmingham it wasn’t too much of a setback, keeping Farke’s team seven points clear of the third-placed Blades ahead of a trip to Wigan on Sunday.
The Latics suffered a blow on Wednesday night when they allowed a lead to slip as they were beaten 2-1 at Hull, with the winner coming in the 89th minute. That brought an end to a three-game unbeaten run for Paul Cook’s team, leaving them two points clear of the relegation zone with five games remaining.
City needed a late Mario Vrancic penalty to beat the Latics 1-0 at Carrow Road in September but are unbeaten in nine, with the draw against Reading denying a ninth successive victory.
