Game Date: 04 February 2023

Competition: Championship

Home team: Norwich City

Away team: Burnley

In the Championship clash on the 4th of February 2023, Norwich City came up short against Burnley in a match that was dominated by the latter, with a 3-0 final score line.

Brighton's three goals came as a result of good offensive teamwork and showed skillful execution. The first goal came early to establish the pace of the match at the 8th minute of the first half. This seemed to push Norwich into a defensive position as they received multiple yellow cards in an attempt to resist Burnley's advance.

A noticeable influx was seen in the amount of fouls committed, with Norwich receiving 5 yellow cards compared to Burnley's 3. These fouls disrupted the play and potentially the team's morale, with 3 out of these 5 yellow cards being awarded during the first half, indicating aggressive play style or possibly tactical fatigue. This no doubt had an impact on Norwich's overall performance and may have contributed to their inability to score any goals throughout the match.

On the other hand, despite only having 3 corner kicks compared to Norwich's 5, Burnley was able to stand their ground and showed an effective and solid defensive mix of precise goalkeeping and effective defensive mesh. The remaining goals were scored respectively at 54th and 59th minutes of the second half, further strengthening Burnley's grip on the game.

Despite having a higher number of attempts to put pressure on Burnley within the offensive third, as indicated by the higher number of corner kicks, Norwich failed to convert these into goals.

To conclude, the key elements that led to Burnley's victory can be credited to their efficient use of possession and ability to convert their goal opportunities despite having less corner kicks. Norwich's aggressive and somewhat disjointed play, evident from the high number of fouls, could have played a part in their downfall.

Ultimately, the data suggests that Burnley's balanced performance and strategic play were superior over the 90 minutes. It's a game of few chances but ruthless efficiency on Burnley's side, coupled with a Norwich side that unfortunately could not maintain composure or form under pressure.
