Norwich City took an early lead in the Championship’s main event on Friday night through Marco Stiepermann. This was all part of the script, as the league leaders edge closer to automatic promotion.

What wasn’t part of the script was Fernando Forestieri’s equaliser. The Sheffield Wednesday forward picked up the ball about 35 yards from goal, almost lost it, turned right, turned left, turned back again and unleashed a rocket that flew straight into the top left corner of the net.

Stephen Fletcher then gave Wednesday the lead early in the second half which looked like the decisive moment until Norwich scored a late, late, late equaliser courtesy of Mario Vrančić to salvage a point.
