Norwich City delivered a dramatic second-half masterclass to defeat Watford 3-2 at Carrow Road, securing back-to-back victories in the Sky Bet Championship. The match began disastrously for the home side, as Dutch striker Myron Boadu struck twice in the first half to give the visitors a commanding 2-0 lead. Watford’s efficient counter-attacking left a misfiring Norwich side trailing at the break, raising significant concerns for the Canaries’ title aspirations.
Canaries erase two-goal deficit as Myron Boadu’s brace fails to save under-pressure Hornets.
The momentum shifted violently in the 60th minute when Ben Chrisene pulled one back, igniting a frantic 17-minute sequence that completely reversed the game’s trajectory. Anthony Musaba equalized shortly after, and Paris Maghoma delivered the decisive blow to complete the stunning turnaround. This rapid-fire scoring spree highlighted Norwich’s resilience, transforming a potential defeat into a crucial three-point haul that reinforces their position at the top of the table.
For Watford, the result compounds the pressure on manager Alessio Dionisi, who now faces mounting scrutiny following another disappointing performance. Despite Boadu’s individual brilliance, the Hornets’ inability to defend their lead exposed defensive fragility that could prove costly in the long run. Conversely, Norwich’s ability to overcome a two-goal deficit serves as a significant confidence booster, demonstrating the squad’s depth and tactical flexibility as they continue their charge for promotion.
