First half goals from Josh Windass and Dominic Iorfa made it consecutive defeats for the Canaries after Saturday's late loss to Cardiff, as a tricky autumn gets ever tougher for Johannes Hoff Thorup and his players. A hole in the net delayed kick-off briefly, and it was another few minutes before the teams really got going. When it sprung into life it was potently, however, Kellen Fisher ending a dynamic away attack by testing Owls goalkeeper James Beadle from a tight angle.
Soon it was the hosts on the hunt, though, and Ike Ugbo should have opened the scoring. Wednesday winger Windass found him two yards out with a cross, but the striker somehow contrived to miss the target with his header. He soon made up for it though, the pair reversing roles to devastating effect.
Ugbo played a simple long ball into Windass’ path, and the son of former striker Dean dispatched with a finish his dad would have been proud of. Norwich responded with half-chances for Kaide Gordon and Borja Sainz, but the former was reluctant to shoot with his weaker right foot and the latter failed to replicate his recent goal of the season contenders. Svante Ingelsson had a better chance when he strode forward and shot from the edge of the box, looking likely to make it 2-0 when he wound up for a shot before scuffing it and seeing George Long collect.
But the City stopper wasn’t as comfortable 13 minutes later, despite a header from Iorfa that meant he probably should have been. The defender met Shea Cha.
