Norwich pick up first Premier League win of the season

Norwich secured their first Premier League win of the season by beating Brentford 2-1 to move off the bottom of the table.

The Canaries made a dream start when Mathias Normann slotted in from the edge of the area after a good run.

It was the first time Norwich had been ahead in a league game this season.

Norwich then doubled their lead midway through the first half when Teemu Pukki converted from the penalty spot, prompting scenes of jubilation in the away end, with the travelling fans seeing their side score two goals for the first time in 29 Premier League games.

But Brentford would put on the pressure in the second half. Bryan Mbeumo had a goal ruled out for offside before Rico Henry volleyed home to make it 2-1.

Brentford continued to push for an equaliser, but the visitors held out for a precious win – their first in 11 league games.

The three points moved Norwich above Newcastle into 19th place and five points from safety. Brentford, meanwhile, are 14th.
