Norwich come from 2–0 down to beat Watford 3–2 and make it two wins in a row
Sunday 1 November 2026 · By Ryan Ashworth
Norwich overturned a 2–0 half-time deficit to beat Watford 3–2 at Carrow Road on Saturday, climbing to 15th.
Watford’s Myron Boadu scored twice, in the 10th and 27th minutes, his first goals for the club. After the break it changed quickly. Ben Chrisene pulled one back with a volley in the 54th minute, Anthony Musaba raced through on the right to level after 62, and Paris Maghoma fired in an emphatic third after 71 from Mathias Kvistgaarden’s cut-back.
Philippe Clement said he was “delighted to see the players show the passion and desire necessary to take the points”. He talked about how to react when you are losing and “booed at half-time”: “You can show your disappointment and get beaten or you can reset and use it as a cue to fight back.” He also felt his side were the dominant team in the first half, but “we didn’t take our chances and defended really badly on two occasions”.
It follows the 3–1 win at Charlton the week before, which ended a run of four straight defeats. Norwich now have 15 points from 13 games, with five wins and eight defeats, and sit seven points behind eighth-placed West Ham. They are four ahead of Watford, who are 21st, and six clear of Burnley in the first relegation place.
Clement wants more of the same: “We now need to build on it again on Tuesday.” Norwich are away at Derby on Tuesday 3 November (kick-off 19:45 GMT), then at Bristol City on Saturday 7 November (12:30 GMT).
Carrow Road is a compact, all-seater ground of about 27,000 on the edge of Norwich city centre, a short walk from the railway station and the River Wensum. It opened in 1935 after being built in 82 days, and still feels like a proper football ground rather than a bowl of corporate boxes. Visiting supporters are almost always placed in the South Stand (also called the Jarrold Stand), in the blocks nearest The Barclay. Typical away allocations sit around 2,000 to 2,500, with more for cup ties. The view is good: a modern single-tier cantilever with decent legroom and, from the back rows, a glimpse of the cathedral.
Get the geography straight before you arrive. The Barclay is the north end, behind one goal, and is the noisy home stand. Opposite it, behind the other goal, is the Regency Security Stand — still the River End to most people. The Geoffrey Watling City Stand runs along the west touchline and holds the directors’ box, press seats and players’ tunnel. The South Stand runs the full east touchline and is the largest of the four. Away fans sit in that east stand, not behind a goal, so you look across the pitch rather than straight down it. The goals sit only in front of The Barclay and the River End.
Norwich station is the easiest arrival point. Follow the signed ten-minute walk along Carrow Road. Coach parks are usually on Lower Clarence Road. There is no general matchday parking at the stadium; County Hall is a common option if you must drive. Blue Badge spaces on nearby streets such as Kerrison Road are limited. The official postcode is NR1 1JE. Away turnstiles are at the South Stand end — often numbers in the 50s — and open around 90 minutes before kick-off unless your club is told otherwise. Expect bag searches. The ground is cashless.
Inside the away concourse you will find the usual pies, chips, tea and beer unless a particular fixture is dry. Alcohol is normally served to visiting fans. Programmes are sold outside. Stewards here are generally fair, though they can be firm about standing in seated areas. Disabled visiting supporters have pitch-level wheelchair bays and ambulant seats at the front of the away section, with step-free toilets and a lowered refreshment counter in the South Stand concourse. Check the latest access statement on canaries.co.uk before you travel, because numbers are tight.
Pubs near the ground can fill early and some prefer home colours. Many away groups drink in the city centre or around the station and walk in together. After full time you may be held briefly so the streets can clear; listen to the stewards. The Holiday Inn sits in the open corner by The Barclay and the South Stand — handy if you are staying over, less so if you hoped for a wrapped-around bowl. Carrow Road is friendly by English standards, close to town, and easy to read once you know which end is which. Wear your colours, allow time for the walk from the station, and you will have a straightforward afternoon in Norfolk.
