Norwich City clinched their first win of pre-season as they defeated FC Schalke 2-1 on Friday evening.
The Canaries were hoping to build on their 2-2 draw against Arminia Bielefeld last weekend and duly delivered, outdoing David Wagner’s side in Lotte.
Daniel Farke made a number of changes to last Sunday’s starting line-up and will be happy with what he saw from his team as they beat a well-established Bundesliga outfit.
Norwich took the lead after just 13 minutes courtesy of a goal from Teemu Pukki, who, on his return to Schalke, latched onto a well-timed pass from Patrick Roberts to score.
Just four minutes after half-time, the German club found themselves on level terms. Michael McGovern could not deal with an initial effort and palmed the ball only as far as former Manchester City youngster Rabbi Matondo, who tapped home at the back post.
However, Norwich would have the final say in the match as Moritz Leitner’s deflected effort helped the Canaries to a surprise 2-1 win over their Bundesliga counterparts.
