Norwich finally broke their duck with goals from Mathias Normann and Teemu Pukki that proved to be enough for a 2-1 victory at Brentford, but not enough to keep Daniel Farke in his
Job. A magnificent solo goal from Normann and Pukki’s penalty secured a first win of the season for the beleaguered visitors, but within hours of the final whistle the club announced Farke had been sacked as manager, saying: “Now is the right time for change.”

They had held on for the final half-hour after Rico Henry hauled Brentford back into the match, for a first away victory in the
Premier League since a win over Everton at Goodison Park in November 2019. Their performance was a far cry from their last trip to west
London, the 7-0 hammering by
Chelsea a fortnight ago, but was unable to convince the club that Farke was the person to take them forward.
