Norwich were handed a rude wake-up call on their return to the second
tier as unfancied Watford picked up victory in the curtain raiser for
the npower Championship season.
Norwich City 2-3 Watford - As it happened
John Eustace and Danny Graham had Watford 2-0 up inside 24 minutes to
silence a packed Carrow Road who were eager to see the Canaries carry
on the momentum from their League One title win in May.
Norwich lost 7-1 at home on the opening day last season and while they
improved after the break to score through Andrew Crofts, another poor
start to the campaign was confirmed when Graham struck his second late
on.
Michael Nelson was able to find a second goal for the hosts in stoppage
time but Watford were worthy winners.
