Three days after captain Ethan Ampadusuffered lateral ligament damage in victory against Coventry City, Leeds lost the services of another centre midfielder at Carrow Road as Ilia Gruev was forced off with a knee injury. Gruev, who was replaced by Joe Rothwell, was forced off just five minutes after Norwich had taken the lead through a Josh Sargent penalty awarded for Joe Rodon’s foul on the Canaries attacker.
But Willy Gnonto had been a threat for Leeds from the outset and the Italian winger set up Largie Ramazani to draw Leeds level on the hour mark with a neat through ball from which Ramazani fired home a clinical finish.
Graham Smyth, the YEP’s chief football writer, hands out the scores from a hard evening against the Canaries.
