Sargent double fires Norwich to Championship victory over Millwall

Josh Sargent was the hero as Norwich beat Millwall 2-0 to make it two Championship wins at Carrow Road in the space of four days. The in-form frontman followed up his goal against Huddersfield on Tuesday night with a well-taken second-half double as the Canaries took another big step forward after a poor start to the campaign.

Bottom after three games, Norwich moved into the top six ahead of the weekend fixtures as a result of a deserved win and are beginning to look like the promotion challengers they were expected to be at the start of the season. Millwall battled bravely but did not look capable of getting back into the game once they had gone behind just after the break.
