Norwich City 4-2 Luton Town: Hatters fall to sixth straight away defeat

Norwich move up to ninth after registering back-to-back league wins for only the second time this season, while Luton slip to 19th with a 10th league defeat of the season, three points above the relegation places.

Only Plymouth have conceded more Championship goals than Luton’s tally of 33 this season, with 20 of them coming in their last six away trips to heap more pressure on Rob Edwards.

Having been handed the lead, the Hatters underlined this fragility as they made a hash of clearing a long ball to allow Crnac to fire Norwich level before Jack Stacey robbed Tahith Chong as he shepherded the ball towards the byline and teed up the Croatian for his second.

Luton seemed to be hanging on as goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski palmed away Shane Duffy’s goalbound header, but Norwich’s defence returned the Hatters charity to gift the visitors an equaliser soon after the break through Brown.

Adebayo then headed a Carlton Morris cross narrowly over as Edwards’ side sensed a second away win of the season.

Yet it was a moment of quality – in contrast to the first four goals – that put Norwich back in front as Crnac shrugged off a challenge, burst into the box, and switched the ball to his right foot to square for Marcondes.

Sainz, the top scorer in the top four tiers of English football, had hit a good early chance into the side-netting, but duly added late gloss, smashing in an Onel Hernadez cross at the near post as City racked up 10 goals in two matches.
