Wagner happy to keep it clean

DAVID Wagner was delighted with his side’s hard-fought win over QPR, despite admitting it had been a below-par attacking performance from his side.

The Canaries made it back-to-back wins in the Championship after a poor run that had seen Wagner’s position called into question, with Ui-jo Hwang’s 21st-minute goal settling a scrappy encounter.

That proved to be the hosts’ only on target effort of the match, but the boss wasn’t complaining afterwards.

“I think a 1-0 win like that is perhaps the best sort of win for me in the circumstances,” said Wagner. “Everyone knows we can score goals, the stats tell you that, but we have been conceding too many goals and to keep a clean sheet was very pleasing.

“We were very organised defensively, kept them as far away from our goal as possible and didn’t give them many chances.

“That is back to back wins now, which feels good.”
