Norwich's Jon Rowe speaking about his goal on Sky Sports: You are in the moment, so when I am dribbling, I am trying to assess my options and I was about to slide Josh Sargent in, but they closed him off.
I took matters into my own hands and finished the job.
It was a tough game, conditions were not the greatest, but we pulled through.
We showed what we are all about. With that fighting spirit, we managed to grab the three points.

'Hull got what they deserved'published at 22:10 Greenwich Mean Time 12 January

It was a disappointing night from the start for Hull City.
Expectations were so high with Fabio Carvalho coming in on loan from Liverpool.
The team didn't play well enough collectively. I think they got out of the game what they deserved.
Carvalho and Sharp both had good chances, but Norwich goalkeeper Angus Gunn pulled out saves at great times.

Sudip in Ripon: Jonathan Rowe and the young lad Jaden Philogene are two seriously good forwards who will grace the Premier League pretty soon!
Hull certainly could've done with Philogene in their attack tonight...

Stephen Elliott

With three points away from home, Norwich cannot really complain.
Not many sides will come and win here.
That probably takes a little bit of pressure away from David Wagner.
It is a really positive evening for them.

Hull just didn't have the spark tonight.
Tyler Morton's strike gave them a glimmer of hope.
But Norwich - who have come in with indifferent form - have come away with all three points.
It is their first win here since 2007.

Norwich are up to eighth after a dramatic end to an uneventful game!
It looked like Jon Rowe's fine first-half solo goal would be the difference for the visitors as we headed towards the final minutes.
Christian Fassnacht then turned in Onel Hernandez's cross at the back post to seemingly put it to bed but then Tyler Morton smashed in a belting long range shot in the 90th minute.
Norwich held on though and they're now two points off the top six.

Adam Idah goes close to making it 3-1 but Ryan Allsop keeps him out.
Hull look to get it down the other end.
Helter-skelter end to this!

Tyler Morton won't strike them much sweeter than that, what a strike!
Just when you think that Hull are dead and buried, they have given themselves a chance.

Tyler Morton
Now then!
We're into four minutes of time added on and Liverpool loanee Tyler Morton has given his side a glimmer of hope.
His long ranger flies beyond Angus Gunn.
Brilliant strike.

Onel Hernandez has done brilliantly down this left-hand side.
He puts in a great delivery and Christian Fassnacht gambles around the back.
I don't know if it is a knee or a quad that he has got on it, but I don't think Norwich fans will care.
Happy days!

That'll do it!
One sub to another and Norwich will be leaving with three points.
Onel Hernandez does really well to win the ball back down the Norwich left and the Cuban fires an inviting cross to the back post and Christian Fassnacht gambles on it and converts with his thigh from close in.

That could have been a great introduction. It was only his first touch of the ball.
Ashley Barnes again holds it up really well.
Onel Hernandez just fires it over the bar.

Hull City 0-1 Norwich
Norwich forward Onel Hernandez, who is wearing some serious gloves, is straight into it.
He makes a yard for a shot on his left foot but sends it way over the bar.

Another change for Norwich.
Onel Hernandez is on for Borja Sainz.
Oh, and one for Hull too.
Matty Jacob is off and Harry Vaughan is on.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 83 mins

Christian Fassnacht is on for goalscorer Jon Rowe.
Will the 20-year-old's wonderful first-half strike prove to be the difference today?
Seven minutes to go.

There is your man of the match in goal for Norwich.
Angus Gunn has made two or three great saves.

Strong arm from Angus Gunn turns Regan Slater's long-ranger over the bar.
The Norwich goalkeeper has earned his corn in the past few minutes.

There is no fluency whatsoever from Hull City today.
They are lacking options, taking the extra touch and looking.
I think Harry Vaughan should have come on at half-time.
