Comments:

League position: 19th Norwich City had now lost 13 consecutive games in the top division; only Manchester United (14 in League Division One) in 1930 and Sunderland (20 in the Premier League) in 2005 had lost more in a row. The Canaries had now not scored more than one goal in any of their last 21 games in the Premier League; only two teams have now had longer such runs - Sunderland in 2005 (25 games) and Huddersfield Town in 2018 (22 games). City scored for the first time in their last seven home games in the Premier League. Norwich City were awarded a penalty after 43 minutes following a VAR review. Norwich City scored after 80 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
