# Our man of the match: Nottingham Forest (H)

Norwich City came from 3-0 down against Nottingham Forest and scored twice in stoppage time at Carrow Road to snatch a point.

The Canaries were far from their best for the majority of the match, before flicking the switch in the final 15 minutes to provide yet another spirited comeback.

Mario Vrancic pulled one back in the 78th minute, before substitute Onel Hernandez scored in the 94th and 98th minute to secure a point.

There were some great performances for Norwich, despite the 3-0 setback, and a number of contenders for man of the match.

Jamal Lewis, Tim Krul, Onel Hernandez and Marco Stiepermann could have won the award.

But, our Norwich man of the match is… Mario Vrancic!

Vrancic ran the game in the first-half and was the best player on the pitch up until the Forest opener and continued to battle hard after each Forest goal.

The Bosnian scored from distance, via a wicked deflection, to bring Norwich back into the game, whilst also creating numerous good chances late on.
