The Republic of Ireland international showcased his savvy positioning and timing in a chaotic goalmouth scramble, ultimately tapping the ball into the net to settle an exhilarating match. Hull unexpectedly took the lead in the first half with a splendid debut goal from Liam Delap, but the Canaries equalized just before halftime with a stunning strike from youngster Jonathan Rowe – his first for the club. Norwich started strongly in the dreadful weather conditions, with Gabriel Sara narrowly missing the target after only 40 seconds and Rowe grazing the outside of the post with a long-range effort. However, it was the visitors who managed to score first in the 17th minute due to poor defending from the home team. Delap, on loan from Manchester City, capitalized on Shane Duffy’s mistake, outmuscled Ben Gibson, and delivered a powerful finish into the top corner. Angus Gunn then made a crucial save to deny Ozan Tufan after the Turkish midfielder found himself in a favorable position in the box. Despite these chances, the first half largely belonged to Norwich, with Duffy hitting the crossbar with a header, Jack Stacey missing the mark from a good position, and Matt Ingram making an outstanding save to keep out a Josh Sargent header. However, just as the half was ending, Norwich managed to get a goal to level the playing field. Dimi Giannoulis initiated a rapid attack and found Rowe, who advanced towards the edge of the box and unleashed an unstoppable shot past Ingram, providing a more accurate reflection of the first half scoreline. The second half followed a similar pattern, with Norwich dominating possession, but Hull almost regained the lead when Delap broke through the defense and took a shot that was brilliantly tipped over by Gunn. As the game neared its conclusion, Norwich’s threat seemed to be diminishing, although Duffy should have done better with a free header in the 82nd minute. It appeared that the hosts would have to settle for a draw, but in added time, they secured a victory. After a partially cleared corner, the ball deflected fortuitously into the path of Idah, who expertly guided it into the net from a close range, even as Hull protested in vain for offside. In another match, Will Keane made an impact in his return to Preston by scoring a late equalizer in a 1-1 Championship draw against Bristol City. The hosts took the lead in the 47th minute, but Keane found the back of the net in the 86th minute with a well-placed shot from a crowded penalty area. Preston displayed an impressive performance in the second half, creating numerous scoring opportunities. City will likely view the result as a missed opportunity after leading for most of the match.
