Norwich ended a run of back-to-back defeats by claiming a point away at Leicester on Saturday.
The Canaries battled hard against the side second in the league and were unfortunate not to come away with the three points, with Tim Krul’s own goal canceling out Teemu Pukki’s opener.
Pukki opened the scoring as he raced onto a through ball from Emi Buendia and excellently guided his strike into the bottom corner.
Twitter: You love to see it! 👊
Buendia picks his head up and plays a superb pass into Pukki – he makes no mistake! 🙌

READ NORWICH VERDICT
No player outside of the regular top six and Leicester, who are of course second, has directly contributed to more goals than Teemu Pukki in the Premier League. The forward has now managed nine goals and three assists for Norwich, which draws him level with Liverpool’s Mo Salah and Sadio Mane for goals – an incredible feat at this point in the season.
There is no doubting that Pukki has made the step up to the Premier League and he is now proving his quality week-in-week-out against top opposition. He has scored against Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Leicester and Chelsea already this term, with Manchester United the only “big” side he has failed to notch against.
