At 04:00 Beijing time on January 22, the 23rd round of the Premier League, Sargent doubled, Kutska sent Oolong in stoppage time, norwich City won 3-0 away to Watford to win two consecutive wins.
It was a crucial relegation 6-point battle, in which former Norwich were 1 point behind Watford in two rounds of multiple matches, one in third-to-last and one in fourth-to-last.
In the last round, Watford drew 1-1 with Newcastle to end a six-game winning streak, while Norwich beat Everton 2-1 to knock Benitez off the job, ending their six-game winning streak and eight winless games. Both teams are the same, both just ended the decline of 6 consecutive defeats in the last round, so everyone's morale and morale are high.
In fact, before the 2-1 win over Everton, Norwich were already at the bottom of the Premier League for six consecutive rounds. Norwich scored six points in a row on Everton and Watford, who created a Premier League miracle, rising from the bottom 1 to the bottom 4 in just 7 days, and finally escaping the relegation zone. It was the first time they had escaped the relegation zone this season, a moment they had waited 160 days.
Norwich changed coaches in November, with Dean Smith leading the team to a 2-1 win over Southampton in his first game. It went on to go through six straight losses and eight winless rounds, but the last 2 games with six points have finally given him a sigh of relief.
On the contrary, Watford manager Ranieri was under more pressure, and like Dean Smith, he was halfway through. In a 3-0 defeat at home to Norwich, Ranieri was blackface all the time and his side fell into the relegation zone after this round. After beating Manchester United 4-1 to knock Solskjaer off the job, the Premier League promotion team has only scored 1 point in their last 8 league games, 1 draw and 7 defeats, plus an FA Cup 1-4 Leicester City, and he has only achieved 1 draw and 8 defeats in his last 9 games.
