On This Day in 1996: Polston header wins dramatic derby

The East Anglian derby has produced some memorable matches over the decades, and the outcome for Norwich City 23 years ago was no different.

Having lost the previous derby away to Ipswich Town in April '96, City were chomping at the bit to get one back over their local rivals, and they couldn't have got off to a better start in front of the biggest Carrow Road crowd of the season.

Andy Johnson gave the Canaries a 2-0 lead with his brace ahead of the interval, excelling in a game that was broadcast live on Sky Sports.
