Birmingham City vs Norwich City LIVE: Championship result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St Andrew's Stadium
Onel Hernandez was Norwich‘s hero as they made it four straight wins with a last-gasp 2-1 victory against Birmingham at St Andrew’s.
Hernandez, who spent the second half of last season on loan with Blues, swept home the winner in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.
The 29-year-old Cuban winger’s first goal since scoring for Birmingham in a 3-0 win against Luton on February 12 came after Scott Hogan’s clinical strike five minutes after the break was cancelled out by Andrew Omobamidele’s equaliser in the 63rd minute.
Hernandez’s winner made it a happy return to the second city for former Aston Villa manager Dean Smith, now in charge of the East Anglian outfit.
