Norwich City came from a goal down at half-time to claim a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Carrow Road on Wednesday night.

Philippe Clement made a number of changes to the side that were beaten by Leeds United in the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday, with Vladan Kovačević, Jack Stacey, Harry Darling, Anis Ben Slimane and Tony Springett all given starts.

Stacey was behind the first shot of the game, with the right-back's venomous effort going just over Adam Davies' crossbar.

Jairo Riedewald then gave the visitors the lead with their first meaningful attack.

Norwich went in search of an equaliser and nearly found one when Darling's deflected effort flashed just wide of the post.

Mathias Kvistgaarden came close just before the break, but the Dane's header was cleared off the line by a Sheffield United defender.

In the second half, Slimane forced Davies into a smart stop down low.

Kellen Fisher was next to threaten for the Canaries, but his effort was stopped once more by Davies.

Just moments later, Norwich were level. Jacob Wright's corner was met by the head of Stacey, who managed to beat the goalkeeper to equalise.

The turnaround was complete as Amankwah Forson curled into the top corner after being found by Paris Maghoma.

The Canaries are back in NR1 this weekend, as they host Preston North End in another Championship clash.
