Norwich City 2-1 Plymouth Argyle: Canaries come from behind to strengthen play-off hopes

Norwich City strengthened their position in the Championship play-off places with a 2-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle at Carrow Road.

The Canaries had gone behind after 10 minutes when Morgan Whittaker headed in his 19th Championship goal of the season.

Two goals in seven second-half minutes from Josh Sargent and an Ashley Phillips own-goal set up victory for David Wagner's side, their seventh consecutive home victory.

The result sees Norwich remain in sixth but extends their advantage over the sides outside the play-off places to four points. Plymouth drop to 20th but stay two points clear of the relegation zone.
