Jacob Wright gave Norwich the lead in the 28th minute after Andre Brooks and Oscar Schwartau won possession from Stephen Welsh in a goalmouth scramble. Swansea levelled four minutes after half-time when Moussa Yeo converted at the back post from Josh Tymon's cross.

Adam Idah, a Republic of Ireland striker, scored the winner with a glancing header in the 59th minute from Melker Widell's cross. Idah had three clear chances in the first half but Norwich goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic saved each time. Norwich pressed Swansea early on and earned a corner, but could not capitalise.
