Hull City 1-2 Norwich City: Canaries close on play-off places with away victory

Norwich City closed to within two points of the Championship play-off places as Jonathan Rowe's brilliant goal helped them to a Friday night victory at Hull City.

His solo effort was the highpoint of a largely mediocre opening half at the MKM Stadium in which the home side lost their own top scorer, Aaron Connolly, after only 15 minutes because of injury.

The Tigers failed to produce a single effort on target before the break, but Ozan Tufan hit the post as they looked for an equaliser following the restart.

Angus Gunn produced a flying save as Regan Slater's 25-yard effort seemed to be heading for the top corner but Christian Fassnacht forced home the second late one before Tyler Morton grabbed what proved to be a consolation for the Tigers in stoppage time.
