Brighton & Hove Albion beat rock-bottom Norwich City 1-0 at Carrow Road

It was Norwich's fifth straight league defeat and Daniel Farke's side have not scored a goal since the season restarted last month after the COVID-19 hiatus.

They stayed at the foot of the standings with 21 points -- seven behind 17th-placed Watford -- and relegation from the top flight for the third time in seven seasons looks increasingly likely with five games left.

Brighton took the lead midway through the first half from a sharp counter-attack in which Aaron Mooy found Trossard in the box and the Belgian calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner with a first-time shot past goalkeeper Tim Krul.

Teemu Pukki and Todd Cantwell, who have scored 17 of Norwich's 25 goals this season, both started on the bench and the duo failed to make an impact when they were introduced in the 67th minute.

Norwich nearly equalised in stoppage time through Adam Idah but the 19-year-old substitute's glancing header came off the post with goalkeeper Mat Ryan beaten.

Brighton, 15th, have now picked up seven points in their last four games to boost their chances of staying up. Agencies
