Norwich City boss Alex Neil hails 'crucial' win at Leeds United

Norwich City manager Alex Neil describes his side's victory over Leeds United as a "crucial" result.

Norwich City manager Alex Neil has described his side's 2-0 win over Leeds United in the Championship as a "crucial" result.

The Canaries kept their hopes of automatic promotion to the Premier League alive with goals from Jonny Howson and Graham Dorrans, and their coach was quick to applaud his players afterwards.

"It was a tough match and at times I felt we needed to move the ball quicker, but then the first goal was the crucial point in the match," Sky Sports News quotes Neil as saying.

"I wasn't happy with some things in the first half but in the second, after the goal especially, we were the better side and we deserved to win. If you look at the opposition, John [Ruddy] made one good save, and had to collect a lot of balls, but we did well.

"It was a crucial win. We always work on the basis that our rivals are going to win. We have a job to do and we have come away from two tough fixtures - Bolton and Leeds away - with maximum points."

The result leaves Norwich in second place in the table, one point behind leaders Bournemouth.
