West Bromwich Albion upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Norwich City 1-2 West Bromwich Albion. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Aune Heggebø put the first mark on the match 75', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Norwich City led Total shots 20-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. Norwich City also shaded Corners 8-2.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Norwich City the favourite at 50.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
