The lead lasted only six minutes. Norwich’s own interval change, Mohamed Toure, quickly made his mark, supplying the assist for Pelle Mattsson in the 62nd minute as the visitors levelled at 1–1. Toure would be involved again in what turned out to be the winner.

Norwich manager’s faith in the bench continued to pay off when Oscar Schwartau, introduced in the 68th minute, completed the turnaround. In the 76th minute, Schwartau struck from another Toure assist to give Norwich a 2–1 advantage, a scoreline they held to the final whistle.

The match featured a handful of bookings. Norwich defender José Cordoba received a yellow card in the 24th minute, while late cautions were shown to Millwall’s Joe Bryan and Norwich match-winner Schwartau in the 88th minute.

Millwall made a series of late substitutions in search of an equaliser, bringing on Tom Watson, Derek Mazou-Sacko and Joe Bryan in the final stages, but Norwich stood firm to secure all three points.
