Pukki nets only goal in City's win over Rotherham

A first-half Teemu Pukki strike saw Norwich City grind out a 1-0 victory over Rotherham United on Saturday.

Pukki delivered the decisive blow on 17 minutes after Emi Buendia's brilliant pass was dummied by Todd Cantwell, allowing City's leading marksman to calmly finish past the goalkeeper.

In reality, the scoreline should have been much more comfortable, with City threatening on a host of occasions throughout the match but, nevertheless, Pukki's goal was enough to stretch their lead at the top of the Championship.

City were forced into one change from their midweek win over Coventry City with Christoph Zimmermann replacing Ben Gibson in the centre of defence – Gibson made way because of a minor back issue.
