Evans fires late~winner for Canaries

The 19-year-old, on loan from Manchester City, strode forward unopposed from the halfway line in the 88th minute and unleashed a venomous shot that flew into the top corner.

Evans’ 30-yard rocket saw Glenn Roeder’s Norwich extend their unbeaten league run to 12 matches, while Cardiff have slipped to back-to-back defeats after going seven matches unbeaten.

The visitors appeared to have taken an interval lead after Evans had applied a clinical finish to an impressive Canaries raid down the left in the 15th minute for his first.

But in the third minute of time added on at the end of the first half Gavin Rae equalised, finishing in similar fashion following Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s pass.
