Norwich City 3-1 Aston Villa: Josh Murphy masterclass dents Villa's automatic Championship promotion chances

Norwich City stunned play-off hopefuls Aston Villa with a sensational 3-1 win at Carrow Road.

The Canaries took the lead through Josh Murphy’s incredible strike from 30 yards, which left keeper Sam Johnstone helpless.

Daniel Farke’s side soon doubled their lead when Dennis Sberny grabbed his first goal for the club shortly after half-time.

Villa were given a lifeline thanks to Jack Grealish’s 18-yard strike, but the points were sealed thanks to a smart finish from James Maddison after an incredible run from Murphy to set him up.
