Ashley Barnes: Norwich City striker says scoring less important than winning

Norwich striker Ashley Barnes says scoring is of secondary importance to winning after netting his first league goal for the club against Millwall.

The 33-year-old netted the third in their 3-1 win over the Lions - the 100th league goal of his career.

Barnes moved to Carrow Road on a free transfer in May following nine years with Burnley.

"I wouldn't care if I didn't score all season and we got promoted at the end of the day," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"Like I said when I joined, as long as I can put in performances and make sure everyone is doing their jobs, as well as myself, that's all I ask.
