When you are locked in a relegation scrap and haven't scored in over 500 minutes, you need either a slice of luck or a moment of magic.

Nottingham Forest had the magic in Anthony Knockaert's special equaliser - but luck was far from evident, as Emi Buendia scored via a cruel deflection to send Norwich back to the top of the Championship.

And those final stages summed up both sides: a winning machine that can pull through even when not at their best, compared with a hapless Forest team devoid of confidence.
