Grant Hanley believes Norwich City were made to pay for wasted chances and sloppy defensive errors in their heavy home defeat to Newcastle United. The Magpies recorded a fourth straight league win on Saturday with a 3-0 triumph at Carrow Road.
Eddie Howe made four changes to the visitors' starting eleven, and a brace from Joelinton on his 100th top-flight appearances eased United into a two-goal lead at the break. Bruno Guimaraes continued his fine recent form in front of goal shortly after the restart, pouncing on a poor Tim Krul pass.
The results leaves Norwich eight points adrift of safety with just five matches remaining, with Dean Smith's side facing up to an immediate return to the Championship. Hanley believes the hosts made a positive start to the contest, but left themselves with a 'mountain to climb' after conceding twice in quick succession.
