• Home 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday takes Norwich top
• Reading, Swansea and Stoke win in crowded top six

Norwich moved back to the top of the Championship after coming from behind to defeat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 with two late goals at Carrow Road.

The Canaries had been knocked off top spot by Bournemouth’s 4-0 win at Barnsley on Friday evening and looked unlikely to reclaim it after Josh Windass had headed the Owls into the lead on the hour. They were still behind going into the final 10 minutes but finally got back on level terms when substitute Josh Martin opened his account for the club and followed that up with a winner three minutes later as Max Aarons, with his first goal in almost two years, fired home.
