Norwich 1-2 Wolves: Raul Jimenez scores late winner at Carrow Road

  /  autty

Raul Jimenez scored his 16th goal of the season as Wolves came from behind to beat struggling Norwich 2-1 in the Premier League at Carrow Road.

The Canaries dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead when Todd Cantwell fired home from the middle of the box after pouncing on a loose ball.

But Wolves hit back after the break when Romain Saiss headed powerfully home.

Jimenez then snatched victory for the visitors when he fired in after Tim Krul had denied Matt Doherty.

It was a disappointing result for Norwich, who could have been out of sight in the first half after Teemu Pukki was twice denied when one on one with keeper Rui Patricio, while Alex Tettey hit the post.

The Canaries remain in the relegation zone in 19th place but are now six points adrift of safety following Southampton's win against Aston Villa.

The victory for Wolves, meanwhile, moves them up to sixth and gets them back to winning ways after their 11-match unbeaten run was ended by Tottenham last week.
