DANIEL FARKE hailed Teemu Pukki as the Championship’s top predator – even though the Finn missed a series of sitters.
The striker’s 15th goal of the season ended up sinking the stubborn Millers and sending Norwich seven points clear at the top.
Pukki really should have claimed the match ball, which would have made life a lot easier for the Canaries.
But boss Farke insisted he will always cope with misses if the points keep on rolling in.
He said: “He is the best striker in this league. He could have scored three or four in this game, that is definitely right, but when he got the Golden Boot two seasons ago he missed an unbelievable amount of chances as well. If he goes on like this he is unplayable.
“Our goal difference should look much better than it is – but much more important are the three points.”
