Norwich City Seal Stunning 2-1 Stoppage-Time Win Over Wrexham – Makama’s 90+2’ Strike Ignites Carrow Road!
Carrow Road was a cauldron of ecstasy as Norwich City pulled off a breathtaking late turnaround to defeat Wrexham 2-1 in a Championship thriller, with academy star Jovon Makama smashing home the winner deep into stoppage time to lift the Canaries into the playoff mix.
Josh Windass looked to have wrecked the party with a ruthless second-half brace, cancelling out Ryan Longman’s first-half equaliser and putting the visitors firmly in command. But Johannes Hoff Thorup’s men refused to fold, and when Jack Stacey whipped in a perfect cross in the 92nd minute, Makama was there to crash home a volley that sent the Yellow Army into euphoric celebration.
Thorup beamed afterward: “That moment for Jovon sums up our spirit—this is the resilience we’ve been working toward.” Fans on X exploded with joy, with posts like “Makama magic—Canaries never die! #NCFC” trending within minutes.
With Makama already notching his third goal of the season, and momentum building after the gritty draw at Coventry, Norwich’s late smash-and-grab showed their playoff credentials despite Wrexham’s dominance for long stretches.
Next up is a fiery EFL Cup showdown with Watford at Wembley, where City will look to channel the same never-say-die energy.
On The Ball, City!
