Norwich City 0-2 Blackburn Rovers: Dean Smith under pressure as Rovers beat Canaries

Disgruntled Norwich City fans called for manager Dean Smith's dismissal after witnessing their side lose at home to fellow Championship promotion hopefuls Blackburn Rovers.

Ben Gibson's own goal and a Tyrhys Dolan strike condemned the Canaries to defeat as Rovers returned to third place in the table.

Gibson diverted Tyler Morton's free-kick into his own net after just four minutes at Carrow Road.

Dolan hit a late deflected second to seal his side's first win at Norwich since 1999.

While Smith named an unchanged line-up the visitors brought six fresh faces into their starting XI, including Sam Gallagher and former Canaries defender Daniel Ayala.
