Norwich City beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in the Championship today, owing to a quickfire double late on.
Tony Pulis looked set for his first win as Wednesday boss when Josh Windass converted a fine Adam Reach cross for 1-0.
Soon after scoring though, Windass would be brought off for Liam Palmer – a decision which confused and angered a lot of Wednesday fans.
Norwich grew right into the game after that and would go on to score twice in quick succession – Josh Martin the first and Max Aaron the winner with five minutes to play.
After the final whistle, former Norwich City favourite Darren Huckerby took to Twitter, with this message for Windass’ father – the infamous Hull City hero, Dean Windass.
@DWindass10 thought your lad was excellent today, lead the line well, great finish for his goal, strange decision taking him off when they did, invited even more pressure 🤷🏼♂️
