Overview
- Norwich controlled the opening 45 minutes but failed to convert, with play briefly halted as home fans tossed tennis balls in protest.
- Sergej Jakirovic introduced Semi Ajayi at the break to tighten Hull’s shape and shift the press.
- Joe Gelhardt struck on 49 minutes for his sixth of the campaign, before substitute Darko Gyabi clinched it late.
- The result stretched Hull’s unbeaten run to six and lifted them, at least temporarily, into the Championship play-off places.
- Norwich’s home slump deepened to seven straight defeats in all competitions, intensifying pressure on head coach Liam Manning and sporting director Ben Knapper.
