Christian Fassnacht (84 mins)
Southampton have gifted the Canaries a goal and the lead with only a few minutes left.
Defender Ryan Manning has had a nightmare.
Instead of clearing the ball he tried controlling it, took a touch, got his feet all tangled and somehow Christian Fassnacht has the ball in the back of the net for the visitors.
