Norwich made the early trip to Bramall Lane count, coming away 3-1 winners against a Sheffield United side that never quite got to grips with them. The visitors were sharper in the final third all afternoon, racking up 18 shots to United's 11, and led 2-1 at the break after a first half that saw them make the most of their chances. Musaba was at the heart of it, causing problems all game and picking up the man of the match award with an 8.2 rating for his trouble. United had their moments, particularly from set pieces, and edged the corner count 7-4, but they couldn't find a way back into it after the interval. Eight shots on target from Norwich compared to four for the hosts told its own story. Another home defeat leaves questions to answer for Sheffield United, while Norwich will head back to Carrow Road buoyed by a result that shows they can go into tough away grounds and get the job done.
