Ten minute Goal Rush Sees Coventry Deny Norwich a Perfect Sendoff.

Norwich 2-2 Coventry



Both sides seasons were finished before the final day of the season. But a 10 minute period in the second half showed that even with nothing on the line, in modern football, their is rarely a dull day.

Norwich, despite already securing promotion, came out firing. David Cross fired wide from 25 yards out while Zak Whitbread had to watch his close range effort cleared off the line. Canaries' skipper Holt had his best effort of the half saved in spectacular fashion by Michael Quirke.


It was Coventry however who opened the scoring and the floodgates in a 10 minute flood of finishes. Chris Hussey's effort was saved by Ruddy, but the rebound dropped at the feet of defender Keogh who poked the ball home from close range.

Two minutes later however Norwich pulled level, Marc Tierney's cross being met by a thumping header from Holt that flew into Coventry's net.

Just when the fans thought the action was over Norwich took the lead, Dani Pacheco, brought on to replace Holt just after his skippers goal, creating a mazey run into the Coventry box before blasting the home side into the lead 6 minutes after his side pulled level.

But it was Coventry who had the last laugh when two minutes after falling behind striker Jutkiewicz latched on to Hussey's low cross to pull the Sky Blues level and make sure that next years Premiership new boys left the Championship without 3 points under their belt.
