Leeds United took the lead against Norwich City through Rodrigo in a vital Premier League relegation clash.

Leeds United have played more than 400 minutes since Raphinha scored the Whites' last goal against Manchester United in February.

The Whites have lost every game since, including both matches under new manager Jesse Marsch.

On Sunday, the Whites faced a 'must-win' clash against bottom-placed side Norwich City.

Marsch made three changes from the team that struggled badly against Aston Villa, notably bringing in Patrick Bamford for his first start since September.

Fans were surprised to find Rodrigo kept his starting place after the Spaniard, who failed to make an impact in the first half, was brought off at half-time against Villa on Thursday night.

But the 31-year-old silenced his doubters in the fourteenth minute against the Canaries as his shot deflected off Ben Gibson to find Tim Krul's bottom corner.
