Norwich City upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Sheffield United 1-3 Norwich City. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Anthony Musaba put the first mark on the match 8', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Norwich City led Shots on target 4-8. Norwich City also shaded Total shots 11-19.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sheffield United the favourite at 38.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
