Norwich City stunned by Sheffield Wednesday's second-half comeback
The Canaries lost 3-2 at Carrow Road
Norwich City have fallen to defeat at home against Sheffield Wednesday.
The Canaries led 2-0 at the break but three-goals in 12 minutes in the second-half meant the Owls came out on top, to keep their outside hopes of making the Championship play-offs alive.
The Canaries took the lead after 16 minutes following a slick move down the left that ended with Borja Sainz stroking home his 17th goal of the season - and first since November.
Ante Crnac doubled the lead after 35 minutes but Wednesday were revitalised after the break and scored three times in 12 minutes to turn the game on its head.
Michael Ihiekwe headed in a corner and Josh Windass quickly equalised after an almighty scramble before squaring for Djeidi Gassama to tap home the winner.
Norwich head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup was understandably downcast after the game.
"In the first half we played some outstanding football and scored two beautiful goals but in the second we were not at the same level," he said.
"We will not always be on top in games and when that happens you have to find a way of winning it. It's about the players learning what it takes to see it through.
"We had a great chance to make it 3-0 early in the second half but a game can change on one moment and we saw that tonight. After that we were too passive and it was too easy for them to create. It was not good enough.
"I am getting tired of the goals we are conceding to be honest. For the second we allowed the ball to bounce around in our area for far too long - it should have been kicked away long before they scored."
