Following his side's 1-0 defeat at home to us, Norwich boss David Wagner gave credit to Sunderland and said his side deserved to lose on the day.
POOR FIRST HALF
"The performance, especially in the first half, was as disappointing as the result. We didn't start on our level, we weren't quick enough in passing or our movement, not sharp enough in counterpressing situations and this meant we didn't get the intensity and energy.”
DESERVED TO LOSE
"We deserved to be 1-0 down. The second half was better but we were still not good enough in possession, we didn't occupy the right spaces and weren't able to create enough chances. We deserved the defeat.”
CAUSED PROBLEMS
"If you leave too many spaces open and don't put enough pressure on the player on the ball, then it can cause you a problem and this is what happened. We didn't do it well enough and against a good team which Sunderland are - with young, energetic players who play their football with freedom, they were able to cause us problems."
