Norwich City 2-0 Cardiff City: Marquinhos debut goal helps Canaries to win

Marquinhos scored on his debut as Norwich continued to push for a play-off spot with a routine 2-0 win over a lacklustre Cardiff City at Carrow Road.

Gabriel Sara fired Norwich ahead on 33 minutes with a precise finish from the edge of the penalty area.

Four minutes later the Canaries took control as Marquinhos swept home at the far post from Onel Hernandez's cross.

Norwich might have scored more goals in the second half, while Jaden Philogene hit the post for Cardiff late on.

Norwich are a place and a point off the Championship play-offs in seventh after the win, while Cardiff remain 21st, consoled at least that they preserve their four point cushion above the drop-zone.
