Our man of the match: Sheffield United (A)

Norwich City stretched their unbeaten run to three games as they beat Sheffield United 1-0 away.

Yanic Wildschut handed Norwich the lead in the first-half with his first goal of the season.

The Dutch winger was played in by James Maddison and slammed in a low shot from 12-yards into the bottom left corner in the 23rd minute.

Angus Gunn made a massive save to keep Norwich in front before the end of the first-half. Brooks raced clear on goal but the young shot-stopper smothered the shot excellently.

Gunn has now kept four clean sheets in his last six games for Norwich, with three coming in his last three games.

The young shot-stopper was helped by those in front of him, though. Timm Klose and Christoph Zimmermann played a massive part, again, as the German-born pair were immense at the back.

Picking a man of the match has been hard, with a number of Norwich players deserving praise.

But, our Norwich man of the match against Sheffield United is… Yanic Wildschut!

The winger scored the only goal of the game and was a constant threat down the right flank.

Not only was he good going forward, but he also did his bit defensively – helping out Ivo Pinto on a number of occasions.

Wildschut has found opportunities hard to come by this season and has firmly grasped his chance this time.
