Norwich take home no points from their trip to Vicarage Road, after Watford came from behind to win 3-2 in last night's Championship game.

Danny Batth and Hwang Ui-Jo got their names on the scoresheet early on in the match, in the 3rd and 12th minutes respectively, but it was the Hornets who would come out on top as they clawed back to win.

David Wagner made just one change to his starting 11 against QPR on Saturday, bringing in Adam Idah up top for Ashley Barnes, who told Canaries TV that the whole team should hold their hands up after yesterday's defeat: "We're completely disappointed, lost for words really.

"To be two nil up and playing well, then to throw it all away and come home with nothing just hurts.

"The supporters can be rightly disappointed as well as we are, it's not a nice feeling one bit.

"We all need to stick together in this difficult time."

The loss means the Canaries now have three losses in the last five games.

They sit 14th in the table - just below Watford at 13th.
