The visitors’ greatest hero had played his 200th Norwich match Teemu Pukki.
– Every manager in the world would be happy if they had Teemu Pukki at their disposal. And the same goes for me, manager David Wagner rejoiced on the eve of the signature match.

Wagner only came to the helm of Norwich at the beginning of this year, so he has only had time to get to know Pukki for a couple of months.

– He deserves all the credit.
