Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup says he wished his team had capitalised on Leeds United's momentary wobble during the first half by being more courageous on the ball.

Norwich took the lead early on through Josh Sargent's penalty kick but allowed Leeds back into the game as Largie Ramazani scored his second goal in three starts after the break.

Speaking after the game, Thorup suggested the 1-1 draw was a fair result, a game in which the two sides ebbed and flowed in and out of the ascendancy.

"[There] was so much intensity, so many things going on. The game changed a little bit, Leeds on top then us. Overall [it was] as expected.

"We were a threat on the counters, created some chances. I think I would've liked a little more courage on the ball during that particular period of the game," Thorup added, reflecting on the portion of the first half in which Norwich had the upper hand and were a goal up.

"After we conceded, I think it was a strong response from the team like we wanted to approach the game.

"It was a tough one, today. We really had to fight and defend and support each other and track back and really do a lot of running without the ball."

Leeds had the lion's share of possession with 54 per cent on the night and 14 shots to the hosts' seven; the game as a whole, though, was a close-run contest with few clear-cut opportunities but plenty of attacking intent.

"We're not there yet where we can dominate a game at home against Leeds for 90 minutes," Thorup added.

"What I felt before the game, when I looked the players in the eyes, they were believing we could get the three points and that's what I think you saw out there. We took our chances, knowing there was moments in the game we had to defend, we were in our low block for maybe too long but that's how it is against a strong team like Leeds.

"One of our best performances so far," the ex-FC Nordsjaelland boss said.

Leeds go to Sunderland on Friday night while Norwich host Hull City at lunchtime on Saturday.
