Norwich City
Bolton Wanderers
Norwich dominated the ball with 59% possession and doubled Bolton's pass count, but it was the visitors who made their moments count in a breathless seven-goal shootout. Bolton twice hit the front through Ruairi McConville and then Sam Dalby just after the restart, showing clinical edge despite creating fewer chances than their hosts. Norwich kept dragging themselves level - through Thierry Gale, Gaizka Larrazabal and finally Jack Stacey - but substitute Atsuki Ito settled it just two minutes after replacing Ruben Rodrigues, netting the winner in the 72nd minute. For Bolton, the result is a huge statement of resilience given their away-day underdog billing, while Norwich's control of the game will count for little given they leaked four goals despite a numerical stats advantage across corners, dangerous attacks and passing.
