Boos rang out upon the final whistle from large sections of Norwich fans, as Leeds, led by their very own Steve McQueen, (though he happens to be German) completed their very own 'Great Escape' from Carrow Road. It's not very often that teams recover from a two-nil deficit, let alone end up winning, but almost two years to the day since being given his marching orders, General Farke returned to Carrow Road to knock the Canaries of their perch.
The Whites had found themselves with a mountain to climb at half time, after Shane Duffy and Gabriel Sara had given the Canaries what looked like being an unassailable lead. Farke's troops had more than enough chances to be on level terms, but unlike the home side squandered their opportunities in front of goal.
Leeds needed a bit of luck, the same fortune that had deserted them during the opening half, and it came in the form of Shane Duffy. With just over an hour on the clock, Rutter led a 60 yard charge, before releasing James down the right flank. The Welsh International had just about enough pace to cut the ball across goal before it went out of play. It somehow deceived Gunn who looked odds on to make the save, hit Duffy on the knee, and into his own net.
From that moment on, Leeds started to turn the screw. As the home side began to tire, Leeds were able to call on the services of Ayling, Cooper, Bamford, Anthony and Gnonto. The changes made a massive difference to second half proceedings. With 13 minutes to go, Summerville curled an exquisite effort past the despairing dive of Gunn from the edge of the 'D', from all of 30 yards.
Most teams would have been satisfied to pick up a point having been two down, away from home, but not Leeds. With five minutes remaining on the clock, Rutter (on defensive duties) released Summerville as he charged past the half way line. After weaving in and out of traffic, he release a ferocious drive from the edge of the area, sending the travelling contingent delirious.
