Canaries leave it late as Pukki pinches victory
Jordan Rhodes and Teemu Pukki struck in stoppage time as Norwich City recorded a 4-3 victory over Millwall at Carrow Road.
Having thrown away a 2- 1 lead to fall 3- 2 behind, Rhodes and Pukki helped the Canaries to a fifth successive league win.
Pukki had cancelled out Tom Elliott’s opener and then saw his penalty saved by Ben Amos, before Moritz Leitner edged the Canaries in front.
But, in an astonishing final 11 minutes, Ryan Leonard and Murray Wallace thought they had pinched the points for the Lions, only for Rhodes to level and Pukki to pounce in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
