West Brom kept their Championship play-off hopes alive and ended those of Norwich as they came from behind to beat the Canaries 2-1 at The Hawthorns.
With Coventry and Millwall having maneuvered themselves into pole position to secure the two remaining spots in the top six, only the winner of this game would remain in the hunt.
Josh Sargent’s clinical finish – his second goal in four games – gave Norwich the lead after 41 minutes, but celebrations were what happened when Conor Townsend curled in a sparkling free-kick in first-half stoppage time.
After the break, Jed Wallace scored what proved to be the winner, when he diverted a cross from Townsend past Angus Gunn.
As a result of the victory, West Brom climb back up to eighth, two points outside the top six ahead of the final day of the season on Monday May 8. Norwich sit 12th, six points off the pace, unable to trouble the top six .
