Outstanding performance
Birmingham City•GoalkeeperBirmingham City seized control early at Carrow Road with two first-half goals, as Carlos Vicente opened the scoring from close range after Norwich's defensive lapses, before Marvin Ducksch doubled the lead from a corner situation. The visitors' clinical finishing in the opening 14 minutes put Daniel Farke's Norwich on the back foot, despite the Canaries dominating possession for large spells. Kenny McLean's well-taken strike on 67 minutes gave Norwich hope of salvaging a point, but Birmingham's disciplined defensive structure held firm despite late pressure. This victory moves Birmingham further away from relegation trouble while dealing a blow to Norwich's automatic promotion ambitions, leaving them needing to respond quickly in their next fixtures.
