Norwich shot up to fourth in the Championship on Tuesday night as they beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Carrow Road.
The Canaries found themselves 1-0 down at half-time after Tom Trybull inadvertently put the ball into his own net from a corner.
Norwich found their equaliser in the second-half when Jordan Rhodes beat Villa goalkeeper Orjan Nyland to a corner to head into the back of the net.
Rhodes then added a second to put Norwich in front as he beat his man to the front post to excellently divert a Marco Stiepermann cross into the bottom corner.
Picking a man of the match has been hard, with plenty of impressive performances across the board.
Rhodes, Max Aarons, Jamal Lewis and Marco Stiepermann were all up that, but our Norwich man of the match is… Moritz Leitner!
The German midfielder controlled the game and was exceptional throughout the 90 minutes.
He never gave the ball away and was always looking to create space and move Norwich up the pitch when he collected the ball.
