Thanks to ex-Werder professional Josh Sargent, promoted Norwich City left the relegation zone for the first time at the start of the 23rd match day of the Premier League. The “Canaries” clearly won 3-0 (0-0) against their neighbors FC Watford and overtook the “Hornets”, on which Norwich now has a two-point lead with 16 points from 22 games. However, all pursuers have played fewer games.
In the 19th attempt, Sargent scored his debut goal in the English House of Lords – worth seeing. In the 51st minute, the attacker maneuvered the ball artistically to the lower edge of the crossbar with a heel from where it fell just behind the line. 23 minutes later, Sargent headed in a second from Milot Rashica’s cross. An own goal by Juraj Kucka (90+2) in added time made the second success in a row perfect.
“I’m very happy for him. That makes him popular with the fans, they sang his name,” said coach Dean Smith of Sargent. “He’s not playing in the position he actually prefers. But his work ethic is tremendous and his physicality helps us.”
