'What a gift that is!' | Mason-Clarke capitalises on Begovic error as Norwich claim victory

Norwich City capitalised on a catastrophic error from Asmir Begovic to claim a vital victory that leaves Hull City facing a desperate battle against relegation following a double blow on Tuesday.

The decisive moment came midway through the first half when Begovic, under pressure from a routine through ball, miscued his clearance spectacularly, gifting the ball directly to Mason-Clarke who had the simplest of tap-inss to finish.

Begovic's error was the second high-profile mistake by a Hull goalkeeper in hours, following a similar incident earlier in the day. The veteran shot-stopper was visibly devastated after the match, trudging off the pitch having contributed to Norwich's winner.

Norwich, buoyed by their fortunate opening goal, dominated the remainder of the first half and doubled their lead through a stunning long-range effort from Tour. The Norwich playmaker collected the ball 25 yards out and unleashed a powerful drive that flew into the top corner, leaving Begovic rooted to the spot.

Hull offered little response after the break, their heads clearly down following the double disappointment of the day. Norwich controlled possession professionally and limited the visitors to few clear-cut opportunities.

The win lifts Norwich away from the relegation zone, while Hull's miserable day leaves them deep in trouble with just weeks remaining in the season.
