It was a passage of play to illustrate why both sides had lost their last six league games, and to highlight the helpless desperation of their recent form.
As a relatively easy-to-defend cross came in, Norwich's Sam Byram's arm came up to slap the ball clear as if he was swatting away a fly. Penalty. All their defensive graft undone by one lapse in concentration?
Then Neal Maupay stepped up, goalless in two months, to sky the penalty into the away end. Clearly the Frenchman has been watching his compatriot's Six Nations Grand Slam winners over the international break.
