Smith questions Sawyers goal

Beaten Norwich boss Dean Smith feels Romaine Sawyers' winning goal was a fluke.


Smith and Sawyers have worked together previously and the Canaries chief claimed: "I know Romaine very well and that certainly wasn't a shot - that was a pass that got deflected in."

Of the game itself, he said: "We didn't deserve to come away with nothing. It wasn't a great game in terms of chances. Their xG (expected goals) is probably 0.04.

"But we weren't good enough in the final third. Our final ball wasn't quite right, our delivery or pass wasn't quite right.

It was an emotional atmosphere here, you could see that and you could see from their bench how emotional they were."
