And after grinding out an undeserved three points, the Canaries look a safe bet to head back to tier one – of English football – at the first time of asking.
Two goals in the last 10 minutes from Josh Martin and Max Aarons earned the win for Daniel Farke’s men to send them back to the top of the Championship, at the expense of a valiant Wednesday side who led through Josh Windass.

Fans returned to Carrow Road for the first time since March and the Canaries delivered
‘I feel great – top of the league,’ said Farke.
‘It was our responsibility to cheer everybody up and they deserved to celebrate because they played their part through the game. This is a win not just for the 2,000 but for all of our supporters. I was delighted to celebrate with them.’
Majority shareholder and TV star Delia Smith was on the pitch before the match, แทงบอล warming up a loud and expectant crowd.
There were no calls of ‘Where are you?’ or ‘Let’s be having you!’ as she infamously once directed at the stands. But she might have wanted to ask the 11 in yellow on the pitch where they were.
Farke’s players simply did not turn up for the first 80 minutes of this match.
Or more so, they were restricted by a Wednesday team who were searching for a first win under Tony Pulis.
In his fifth match in charge, Pulis’ blueprint started to show. The Owls were well-drilled at the back, dangerous on the counter-attack and a big threat on set-pieces – there were even a couple of long-throws for good measure.
