10 - GOAL NORWICH (Hernandez): Norwich counter and Sargent's flick finds Dowell. Subs: McCallum 7, Nunez 5, Idah 5, Sorensen 5. He takes a sublime touch and holds off two defenders before firing under Wilson. Again it came from a failure to clear by the Norwich defence, but this time it was Kasey Palmer taking advantage to pull another goal back. Burroughs (on for Hamer, 67) Wilson-Esbrand (on for Norton-Cuffy, 67)

Scored on the half volley off his shin to pull one back for the Sky Blues on 20 minutes in an hard working and determined display. Sent in the cross to Gyokeres for the second City goal and got forward confidently to support and create openings on the attack, always willing to take on his man. A real threat when played in behind, taking on and beating defenders every time he had the ball. Had a hand in City's first goal on a difficult afternoon for the Sky Blues. Made a decent save at his near post to deny Sara a third in the 16th minute. Worked hard but had his work cut out against such a fluid Norwich front line that attacked in numbers. Coventry managed to pull one back two minutes later when Kasey Palmer sent in a deep cross from the right which Bidwell headed back towards Jamie Allen who struck a shot on the half volley into the top corner. Looked off-colour and eventually subbed on 66 minutes with something clearly not right. Strong and direct with the ball at his feet and had a hand in the City’s second goal in the 26th minute when he swivelled with his back to goal and Palmer picked his spot. Mark Robins’ men got off to the worst possible start when they conceded from a sixth minute corner, allowing centre-half Grant Hanley to muscle in before Michael Rose got the final touch to score an own goal. Continued to battle and defend as best he could against top opposition with outstanding movement. Made excellent use of the ball with his technical ability and sent in the cross for Allen’s goal and scored the second with a brilliantly placed finish.
