Norwich City 'punished' by Newcastle United for failing to take 'better' chances says Dean Smith

Norwich City boss Dean Smith felt the scoreline did not tell the full story after Newcastle cruised to a 3-0 win at Carrow Road. It was the Magpies first win at the Canaries ground since 1994 and a brace from Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes gave the Toon a vital three points in their quest for a top-half finish.

Eddie Howe's side moved up to ninth as a result and made Norwich pay for their defensive frailties. Guimaraes' goal and Newcastle's third epitomised Norwich's season to date.

Former Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul tried to play out from the back but the Brazilian playmaker robbed a Norwich defender and dinked the ball over the Netherlands stopper, a real moment of quality. Nonetheless, Smith felt his side had the "better moments" in the tie.
