CALLUM O’DOWDA’S FIRST-half goal wasn’t enough to inspire Bristol City to an important victory at Carrow Road, with Championship leaders Norwich maintaining their two-point advantage over Leeds United.
The Ireland international struck on 37 minutes – a wonderful solo effort – adding to Jamie Paterson’s early opener and restoring the visitor’s advantage after Kenny McLean drew the Canaries level just a minute earlier.
Ben Godfrey got Norwich back on level terms 10 minutes after the restart and McLean notched his second of the afternoon to earn Daniel Farke’s side a 3-2 win and keep them clear of the chasing pack.

Sean Maguire, meanwhile, scored only his second goal of the season to extend Preston’s unbeaten run to eight games with a 3-1 win away to Millwall.
The striker scored his first goal in 10 months went Preston beat Norwich earlier this month and speaking after the game, he said he was happy to be back on the goal trail.
“We just need to enjoy it,” he told the club’s official website after the game.
In the last seven games we’ve been back to our best and if we keep picking up these points you never know where it’s going to take us come the end of the season.”
