Full time: Canaries 0 Magpies 1

A 90th minute goal from substitute Owen Bailey gave Newcastle victory in Norfolk on Friday - and dragged them off the bottom of the league table.

The Magpies defender has been sidelined by injury since 2019 (538 days by Bailey's own calculation) but took just three minutes of his comeback to score from close range following a corner.

United began with just five of the starting line-up beaten at Leeds on Monday, with Elliot Anderson and Christan Atsu among those dropping out.

There was a return to action for Yannick Toure for the first time since December, while fellow forward Florent Indalecio was looking to break his scoring duck at the ninth time of asking.

Half-chances at both ends came during a goalless first half, Newcastle's top scorer Stan Flaherty coming close after the break with a free kick that brought a save out of Joe Rose.

Then came the goal that ensured a first win in five games for the Magpies and raised them two places to eleventh.
