Norwich extended their unbeaten run to four matches last night as they picked up a 2-2 draw away to Wigan.
The Canaries had a chance to move up into the play-off places with a win but were unable to claim all three points, despite being on top for the majority of the match.
It was Norwich who took the lead. Alex Pritchard’s free-kick in the first half was flicked in by the shoulder of Nelson Oliveira to make it 1-0 to the Canaries.
However, Wigan’s deadline day signing Omar Bogle scored twice in the space of six minutes in the second half to turn the table and put the hosts in front.
Norwich were able to recover a point, though, as another Pritchard set-piece was converted. The winger’s corner was powerfully headed in by Mitchell Dijks – his first goal for the club and his first career goal.
Picking a man of the match has been difficult. John Ruddy and Nelson Oliveira were very good shouts to win it.
However, I have gone for Mitchell Dijks as my man of the match for the second game running.
The Dutch defender was my man of the match on his debut against Cardiff and has now claimed the prize again after scoring his first goal for the club.
Not only did he net the equalising goal but he also made some excellent crunching tackles in the game and drove the team forward down the left at times.
Dijks will be a very important player for Norwich until the end of the season and hopefully beyond…
