Norwich City 1-0 Stoke City: Canaries continue impressive start to season

Norwich City continued their impressive start to the season with a deserved victory over Stoke in the Championship.

Jack Stacey's first goal in three years gave the Canaries the lead just before the break as he slotted home from close range following slack defending.

Norwich could have been further ahead at half-time but Stoke goalkeeper Mark Travers kept out efforts from Christian Fassnacht, Adam Idah and Jonathan Rowe.

The visitors grew into the game in the second half but rarely tested Norwich keeper Angus Gunn, while Stacey made a crucial block from Sead Haksabanovic's shot.

Gunn was finally called into action in the 85th minute when he saved well from Wouter Burger - Stoke's only notable effort on target - and substitute Dwight Gayle missed from a few yards out with virtually the last kick.
