Over the course of the 90 minutes at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, hosts Leeds had 44% of the possession, took 12 shots of which three were on target, and earned five corners, according to BBC Sport.

Visitors Norwich had 56% of the possession, took 14 shots of which four were on target, and earned four corners, according to BBC Sport.

The win against the Canaries means that Leeds are closer to the Championship playoff spots than they were at the start of this weekend’s round of matches.

Meanwhile, former Leeds striker Noel Whelan was not impressed with the performance of 19-year-old Whites striker Jay-Roy Grot and told BBC Radio Leeds during their post-match coverage of the match: “The basics have got to be done better. He should be a little bit more complete as a player at 19.”

“He obviously isn’t good enough at the moment,” added Whelan.
