Player ratings

Mathias Kvistgaarden runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 41. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for La'Sean Sealey

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Norwich City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Amankwah Forson moves on

Fulham pay $4.9M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

One of our own: Stephen Richardson joins the Norwich City first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Stephen Richardson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
