Norwich City came from behind to beat Sheffield United 2-1 at Carrow Road in an entertaining mid-table Championship fixture.

Jairo Riedewald gave the visitors the lead in the 20th minute, volleying home from Callum O'Hare's lay-off but from there on in United sunk further and further back into their box.

Norwich's dominance was finally rewarded in the 68th minute when Jack Stacey rose highest from Jacob Wright's corner to equalise proceedings in Norfolk.

Amankwah Forson then completed the comeback six minutes from normal time, finishing a first time effort after Paris Maghoma's run and cross following a breakaway.

Victory was the Canaries' third consecutive Championshop win and moves them up to 15th in the table while Sheffield United registered their 18th loss of the season and drop to 13th.

United were the brighter of the two sides for the first 20 minutes or so and were duly rewarded.

Winger O'Hare's dribble into the left hand side of the box distracted enough Norwich defenders to give Riedewald the time and space to shoot with a heavy first touch forcing the Dutchman to hit the ball on the volley which flew past keeper Vladan Kovacevic.

It was the jolt the hosts needed though as, after the opener, it was the Canaries who took the reins whilst United remained penned in.

Harry Darling and Mathias Kvistgaarden both went close from corners for the hosts before the break, with the Blades' Adam Davies repeatedly called into action at set-piece situations.

The Wales international could not stop Norwich's 11th corner of the match however as right back Jack Stacey - who was also a menace from the right-hand side - powered in the equaliser at 68 minutes from Wright's wicked corner delivery.

Wright arrived onto the pitch on the hour mark but Paris Maghoma came on at the start of the second period and was the second of Philippe Clement's substitutes who proved decisive on the night.

The midfielder streaked up the left hand side of the pitch, with Sheffield United overcommitting numbers in the last six minutes, and slid the ball across perfectly for Forson to fire in a curling left-footed strike to seal the comeback at a joyous Carrow Road.

Norwich City head coach Philippe Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk:

"We knew it was a big task and I was not satisfied after this first half. We were maybe too much in a rush, too nervous, maybe with too much will to score the goal and then they got transition moments.

"But it was good that we could turn it around at half-time. In the second half, the reaction of the team was brilliant.

"Very good football domination, taking these transitions out, creating a lot of chances, scoring two beautiful goals and managing the game also in the last minutes.

"A really, really good performance from the team in the second half."

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"It's some good stuff and not so good stuff. Sort of scratching my head at the amount of times we turned the ball over, even in the first half after a really good half an hour where we get ourselves in front, deservedly so.

"Sort of quiet in the crowd, which you want to do away from home, and put your noses in front, but still get opportunities there to go and get the second and just not finding that connection, not finding that rhythm.

"If you invite that on and you give good players - who are obviously in form and going well, and they're a technical side - if you turn the ball over to them, they're going to come back at you and apply pressure and then give their players energy because the crowd are on the front foot."
