After scoring free-kicks in back-to-back league games, we take a look back at some of the best Norwich City free-kicks from previous years (in no particular order).

Kieran Dowell v Derby County, 10.04.21

First up is Kieran Dowell's effort against Derby County from the 2020/21 Sky Bet Championship season. Scoring the only goal of the game, Dowell fantastically whipped his set-piece beyond David Marshall.

James Maddison v Reading, 30.09.17

Opening the scoring at the Madejski Stadium after only 10 minutes, James Maddison curled into the top corner as the Canaries were 2-1 winners over Reading. Cameron Jerome's header earned the three points.

Mario Vrančić v Sheffield Wednesday, 19.03.19

In the seventh minute of injury time, Mario Vrančić found the top corner for Norwich to earn a point in a 2-2 draw at Carrow Road. The point saw the Canaries move five points clear at the top of the Championship table.

Simon Lappin v Luton Town, 27.02.07

Another injury-time free-kick, Simon Lappin curled in to give Norwich all three points away at Kenilworth Road back in February 2007. The Canaries were level against the Hatters, after goals from Chris Martin and Jason Shackell.

Marcelino Núñez v Hull City, 13.08.21

Introducing himself to Norwich fans in only his second appearance for the club, Marcelino Núñez netted his first goal in style as his free-kick curled beyond Matt Ingram. It would be defeat for the Canaries, however, after Óscar Estupiñán's brace.

Mario Vrančić v Leeds United, 02.02.19

The second set-piece from Vrančić on this list, with this one coming in a 3-1 win away to Leeds United. The Bosnian international's free-kick took a slight deflection on the way in, but it was the first of two goals for Vrančić at Elland Road, with Teemu Pukki also on the scoresheet.

Phil Mulryne v Grimsby Town, 05.04.99

In the 1998/99 First Division season, Phil Mulryne scored the only goal of the game to give Norwich all three points at Blundell Park in a win over Grimsby Town. A fantastic effort, giving the goalkeeper no chance.

Ian Crook v Nottingham Forest, 31.08.92

In Norwich's sixth game of the inaugural season of the Premier League, Ian Crook opened the scoring after only two minutes at Carrow Road with a wonderful free-kick. Nigel Clough equalised for Forest, before late goals from Lee Power and David Phillips.

Gabriel Sara v Cardiff City, 17.02.24

One of the two free-kicks the Canaries scored in February, Gabriel Sara's set-piece gave the Canaries the lead at Carrow Road. Cardiff goalkeeper Ethan Horvath couldn't get to the Brazilian's effort, as Norwich went onto clinch a 4-1 victory.

Anthony Pilkington v Aston Villa, 05.11.11

In the 2011/12 Premier League season, Anthony Pilkington found the top corner brilliantly away to Aston Villa, beating Shay Given. It would end in defeat for the Canaries, losing 3-2 at Villa Park but they would end the season in 12th place.

Marcelino Núñez v Blackburn Rovers, 24.02.24

The second of the free-kicks scored in February, the Chilean international put his set-piece into the top corner of Aynsley Pears' goal. David Wagner's side had to settle for a point at Ewood Park, after an equaliser from Blackburn Rovers.
