Norwich secured back to back wins with their first home victory of the season in tonight's edition of Monday Night Football. Sunderland were the visitors to Carrow Road and couldn't quite get their foot in the game during the first half. Norwich were able to take the lead just after the half hour mark when Leon Barnett finished off a slick attacking move. The second half was more of the same and Norwich pressed home their advantage by making it 2-0 just three minutes after the restart. Steve Morison heading home a lofted cross to open his Norwich account. Still Sunderland were sluggish to respond but Bendtner had a great chance to capitalise from a catalogue of defending errors but his narrow angled shot just clipped Ruddy before going well wide. Kieron Richardson did make it 2-1 with four minutes left to play when his diagonal long range effort nestled into the bottom corner. But Norwich held on with ten men as substitute James Vaughan was forced off with an ankle injury.
Meanwhile in yesterday's edition of Super Sunday, Aston Villa travelled to the capital to face QPR. Villa took the lead thirteen minutes into the second half when Bannan converted a dubious penalty. Agbonlahor went down easily from a slight Traore shirt tug and the referee gave it. QPR could have also had a penalty or two with Hutton looking seemingly guilty of handball on both occasions, but none were given. QPR did then get a slice of luck when Dunne put the ball in his own net in injury time to seal a draw. Traore was also then sent off in injury time for a second bookable offence and although Villa have drew more games than they've won, they still remain unbeaten.
