Sargent in charge for Canaries

NORWICH boss Liam Manning hailed Josh Sargent as the Championship's ‘best 9’ after he scored both the goals to sink 10-man Blackburn.

Sargent, the game's outstanding performer, gave Blackburn's defence a torrid afternoon and his movement caused Sean McLoughlin to bring him down in the area, earning him a red card.

The American clinically dispatched the penalty on the stroke of halftime.

Rovers produced a spirited second-half performance and Augustus Kargbo was denied on the hour by a sensational Vladan Kovacevic double save.
