    FT: Leeds 1-3 Norwich

    Norwich striker Teemu Pukki, who scored his 18th league goal of the season in the win, told Sky Sports: "It was the game of the day. It feels special for me today.

    "It was a weird goal for sure, no-one else moved that way and I was in the right place at the right moment. It was pretty quiet after it went in and I wasn't sure if it was called offside, but I'll take it."

    On the atmosphere at Elland Road: "At the beginning you could see they were intense. We managed it well, we were on top of the game for most of it.

    "It is good to play in games like this where there is this atmosphere."

    "We have a hard game next week, the derby against Ipswich. We have a lot of confidence at the moment and we hope to have our next victory next Sunday."

    Some fiery scenes after the full-time whistle, as Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul confronts Leeds striker Patrick Bamford. Not too sure what that's all about.

    Sure, there was passion in the game but that has spilled over into something on the nasty side of life.

    Patrick Bamford

    Patrick Bamford pulls a late consolation goal back for Leeds with a header from an in-swinging corner - a corner earned after Tim Krul touched a fine effort from the forward onto the bar.

    Too late for the hosts, though.

    Into the final minute of normal time now.

    Patrick Bamford tries to prod his way into the box, but Norwich mop up and play out of the back with ease.

    At the other end, Leeds' Mateusz Klich tests goalkeeper Tim Krul with a thumped shot at his near post.

    That is the most authoritative the Canaries keeper has had to be today.

    Mario Vrancic

    Mario Vrancic with his second and Norwich's third. His first was sublime, this one was clinical.

    He does well to slam home from inside the box after greeting Jamal Lewis' deflected cross, sending his shot through the legs of Barry Douglas and goalkeeper Kiko Casilla.

    Norwich on their way to the top of the table tonight!

    Ezgjan Alioski has the ball swept from his feet by Max Aarons as he tries to get onto a neatly slipped pass from Jack Clarke.

    Marvellous defending there from the 19-year-old Aarons.

    Two goals in the space of eight minutes from Britt Assombalonga saw Middlesbrough come from behind to win 3-2 at West Brom.

    What's more - it moved Boro level on points with West Brom and gave the former Baggies boss a victory on his first return to The Hawthorns since leaving Albion last season.

    “West Brom have probably got more players in their team who are capable of playing Premier League football than any other team in the league," Pulis told BBC Tees.

    "I still expect them to be there or thereabouts come the final weeks of the season.

    “They have a great young manager; Darren (Moore) is a fabulous lad. I wish them all the best, but I don’t want them to finish above Middlesbrough.

    “We came here with a game plan. We got the goal from what we were trying to do - pressing early. If you speak to their two centre-halves, they’ll have come off battered and bruised."
