Pukki strikes late yet again as City beat Blackburn

Teemu Pukki's late strike helped Norwich City to a priceless 1-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.

A hugely physical encounter saw City lose Emi Buendia and Moritz Leitner to injury during the game but Daniel Farke's men dug in and took all three points when Pukki slotted Onel Hernandez's low cross past Blackburn goalkeeper David Raya on 86 minutes.

Daniel Farke made just one change to his starting eleven from the game at Bristol City last weekend with Moritz Leitner returning to the side in place of Mario Vrancic. City lined-up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation with Alex Tettey in the heart of the midfield, captaining the side on his 200th appearance for the Club.
