Norwich 0 vs 3 Southampton: Norwich Player Ratings

Canaries fans seemed confident in the buildup to the game, hoping that their team had turned a corner during the break and that the ‘miracle’ could be pulled off but after City’s small spell of dominance in the first half was over, any hopes of the Canaries starting the great escape on the first game back were slowly diminishing. The majority of the Canaries chances came early on in the match with Trybull, Mclean and Drmic all trying to give City their ideal start but through last-ditch defending and a bit of luck, the Saints made it through the onslaught and didn’t experience anything like that for the rest of the game.

His long balls, which are normally so reliable and vital to Norwich, rarely met their target and his defensive work was average. He kept diving into challenges and looked scared to go forward but defensively he dealt with his fellow young full-back, Jan Valery, well. Took too long to get his early chance to test the goalkeeper and showed glimpses of a prosperous Pukki and Drmic partnership. Looked rusty after the long break and almost pulled Norwich back into the game when they were 2-0 down with and clean strike but it was blocked by the Southampton defender. Saints top scorer Ings curled a beautiful sot pass the reach of Krul which opened the floodgates for fan favourite Armstrong and former Canary Redmond to get their first goals of the restart and confirm the defeat for Norwich.
