Bradley Johnson's first goal for over a year earned Norwich a 1-0 win over Stoke which lifted them above their opponents in the Premier League.
Having followed up victory over Tottenham in midweek, which secured a place in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup, by beating Stoke, the Canaries are now unbeaten in four games across all competitions since the international break. Norwich had recalled captain Grant Holt and England goalkeeper Ruddy into the starting XI as manager Chris Hughton again utilised his full squad. Stoke, who had drawn six of their nine league games before today, brought in full-back Wilkinson after Marc Wilson fractured a bone in his calf against Sunderland.| Norwich City | Team Statistics | Stoke City |
