Norwich City came from behind to beat Watford 3-2 in a Championship match at Carrow Road.

Norwich City came from two goals down at half-time to beat Watford 3-2 in a Championship match at Carrow Road, mounting a comeback that silenced concerns about their season unravelling.

At the interval, Philippe Clement's side had been booed by their home supporters after a poor first-half display. Watford had taken advantage of Norwich's defensive errors, with Myron Boadu scoring twice on the counter-attack. The away supporters taunted the home crowd, chanting 'Can we play you every week'.

Clement challenged his players in the dressing room to step forward or face a fourth consecutive Carrow Road defeat. The response was emphatic. Norwich started the second half on the front foot and never let up, displaying energy, intensity and defensive assurance to turn the match around and claim victory.

The win came after Norwich had also mounted a comeback against Charlton, suggesting the team had responded to reports of disquiet about the manager's methods. No criticism of Clement's approach was heard at the final whistle.
