The Canaries defender ran the length of the pitch in the latter stages of the Championship game against the Potters and managed to make a block.

Norwich City might have drawn their last four Championship games and shipped seven during those matches but they remain firmly in pole position for the title while promotion is all but assured.

With two fixtures left, the Canaries are three points clear of second-placed Sheffield United and six clear of Leeds United, their goal difference over the third-placed Whites superior by 10.

On Easter Monday, Norwich twice went ahead through Onel Hernandez’s powerful shot at the near post on 24 minutes and Teemu Pukki’s glancing header in the 66th minute at the Bet365 Stadium.

However, the Potters twice equalised, with Ashley Williams nodding home from a corner not long after the restart, while after Pukki’s strike, Tom Edwards rifled a fine finish into the bottom corner of the visitors’ net from just inside the area.

There was one particular moment in the last 10 minutes of the game when defender Ben Godfrey launched into an impressive sprint from one end of the pitch to the other and got back in time to snuff out an opposition attack.

Norwich’s official Twitter account posted a clip of the moment:

Here is how some fans reacted on the social media platform:

Godfrey found himself linked with Manchester United earlier this year, with The Sun suggesting the 21-year-old was to be the subject of a £10million bid.
