Norwich City came from behind to beat promotion-chasing Millwall at a sold-out Den.<\/b><\/p>\n
Millwall boss Alex Neil, facing his former club, brought on striker Mihailo Ivanovic at the interval after a disappointing first half – and the Serb gave them the lead in the 56th minute.<\/p>\n
But Norwich manager Philippe Clement made a half-time change of his own, sending on Mohamed Toure, who set up both the visitors’ goals.<\/p>\n
Pelle Mattsson equalised with a stunning strike – his third goal in as many games – and Toure then found fellow substitute Oscar Schwartau, who applied the finish. <\/p>\n
Norwich have now won seven of their past nine away matches, and keep their faint hopes of making the play-offs alive. <\/p>\n
Millwall have won just two of their past five matches at home, and have slipped back out of the automatic places with five matches to play.<\/p>\n
The Lions went into the game off the back of a key win away against promotion rivals Middlesbrough on Good Friday. <\/p>\n
But were totally outplayed in the first half. The Canaries enjoyed more than 60% possession and had eight shots to Millwall’s two.<\/p>\n
Norwich full-back Jack Stacey – on his 30th birthday – almost scored with a shot from a narrow angle that just went past the far post. <\/p>\n
Kenny Mclean was then put through by Ali Ahmed, but saw his shot saved by Millwall’s on-loan Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson.<\/p>\n
Ivanovic’s introduction quickly paid dividends when he got on the end of a delightful cross from the right by Casper De Norre.<\/p>\n
However, Norwich hit back with two goals in 14 minutes, taking their tally to 29 points in 2026. <\/p>\n
Next up, Millwall travel to relegation strugglers West Bromwich Albion on Friday. <\/p>\n
Norwich host Ipswich in an East Anglia derby at Carrow Road on Saturday, with a chance to derail their local rivals’ automatic promotion hopes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
