BROWNHILL: KEEPER’S A TOP GUNN

NORWICH CITY

Maddison 79 JOSH BROWNHILL is still puzzling over the amazing Angus Gunn stoppage-time save that condemned Bristol City to a fifth successive defeat.

Lee Johnson’s League Cup heroes saw their promotion hopes hit by a third consecutive Championship reverse.

But they looked certain to grab a deserved point when the ball fell to Brownhill 10 yards out in the middle of goal.

Keeper Gunn, already on the ground, somehow recovered to throw his body in the way of the shot, leaving the Robins midfielder to admit: “I don’t know how I didn’t score.

“Somehow the keeper got across and made the save.”

Brownhill, who also hit the woodwork with a long-range strike in the second half, admits Friday night’s visit to fellow promotion candidates Derby County is now “a massive game”.

He added: “They are in great form, but we will go there looking to win. We know we can create chances and need to take them in that match.”

Midfielder James Maddison (above) grabbed the Canaries’ winner on 79 minutes.

Accepting a pass from Ivo

Pinto, he cut in from the right to beat Frank Fielding with a leftfooted drive.

It was a perfect confidencebooster ahead of Wednesday night’s FA Cup third-round replay at Stamford Bridge.

Norwich boss Daniel Farke said: “It could be a role model for what we have to do against Chelsea.

“I don’t want to speak about our plans for that game, but we will need an unbelievable performance.”
