Much has changed for both of these sides since Alan Sheehan’s Swansea beat Liam Manning’s Norwich in October.<\/p>\n
Both clubs replaced their bosses the following month and both went on to ward off relegation concerns thanks to significant upturns in form.<\/p>\n
Norwich’s improvement has been particularly spectacular, with 17 wins in 27 league games before this one, but they needed two more victories \u2013 and several other results to go their way \u2013 to send a remarkable season into overtime.<\/p>\n
They might have toppled a weary-looking Swansea had they broken through before the break, with Paris Maghoma also denied by Vigouroux after Toure mis-hit his big chance.<\/p>\n
But having stayed in the contest, Swansea seized the initiative with Eom Ji-sung drawing a first save of the day from Vladan Kovacevic before his through ball led to the penalty as Cordoba placed an arm on Vipotnik’s shoulder and the Slovenia international tumbled to the ground.<\/p>\n
Vipotnik was typically cool as he sent Kovacevic the wrong way to edge closer to securing the Championship golden boot.<\/p>\n
Norwich then saw a penalty appeal turned down when Cameron Burgess bundled into Toure, before referee Thomas Parsons pointed to the spot in debatable circumstances.<\/p>\n
Although Burgess headed Ali Ahmed’s cross clear, Vigouroux was penalised for his collision with Kvistgaarden and McLean deservedly levelled.<\/p>\n
The draw means Norwich join Swansea in having little to play for on the final day – but both clubs would have taken that during difficult spells earlier in the season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Much has changed for both of these sides since Alan Sheehan’s Swansea beat Liam Manning’s Norwich in October.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":550337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-550336","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
