Norwich City defeated Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at Carrow Road in Norwich, Norfolk, on 25 February 2026. The home win adds three points to the club’s league total and follows a run of strong results for the local team.

Mathias Kvistgaarden scored the first goal after 31 minutes of play. Paris Maghoma, who joined the team from Brentford in January, scored the second goal seven minutes later to secure the lead before half-time.

Under the leadership of head coach Philippe Clement, the club has now secured 12 wins since he took charge. This is a significant change in form since the manager took over in November 2025, when the team was sitting 23rd in the table.

The club expects midfielder Pelle Mattsson to return to play soon as he has started training on the grass again, though forward Oscar Schwartau remains out with an injury. This continued success has also improved the atmosphere for local businesses around the stadium following the recent sale of academy talent Ajay Tavares to FC Barcelona.
