David still delighted despite draw...

DAVID Wagner believed it was a point gained as his play-off chasing side were held to a draw by Bristol City.

The Canaries went into the match with eight successive home victories behind them, but failed to hit the heights of recent months against in-form opposition, and had to come from behind to secure a hard-fought draw.

“I am satisfied with the point – if you can’t win a game it is important you take something from it, and that it what we have done today,” said Wagner.

“It is another small step closer to our target and the gap between ourselves and the teams chasing us is the same, so that is good.

“We were up against a good side and our performance and energy levels were not as high as they have been recently. We know we can play a lot better than that, but players are only human. I can’t complain about their effort and attitude, but we were not at our best level today.

“There were a lot of turnovers, giving them opportunities, and we were fortunate we had a top level keeper like Gunny (Angus Gunn) out there. He was outstanding today – and has shown why I feel he is the best keeper in this league.”

An in-form Robins created plenty of chances and deservedly took the lead early in the second half when Haydon Roberts finished off a slick move.

But Norwich showed what they were made of by equalising from their next attack, Borja Sainz tapping the ball home after being set up for the easiest of chances by the Canaries’ top scorer Josh Sargent.

Both sides had their chances in an entertaining first half, with the visitors wasting the best of them after just 13 minutes.
