West Brom 1-0 Norwich: Maja Scores on Comeback as Griffiths Stars

The result extended Norwich's home losing streak to five.

Overview

  • Josh Maja hit the 20th-minute winner on his first start in around 10 months after leg surgery, finishing after Samuel Iling-Junior's low cross was parried and Isaac Price squared.
  • Goalkeeper Josh Griffiths produced crucial late stops, notably denying Jovon Makama and Ante Crnac, with Chris Mepham adding a goal-line clearance to preserve the clean sheet.
  • Norwich controlled long spells without carving clear chances and suffered a fifth consecutive defeat at Carrow Road as frustration from home fans grew.
  • The victory ended West Brom's run of three games without a win and reportedly lifted Ryan Mason's side to fourth in the table.
  • Albion now turn around quickly for another away match at Millwall in London within 72 hours.
