Farke fired despite Norwich earning 1st win of PL season
LONDON (AP) — Norwich got the elusive win but Daniel Farke still got fired. The manager was dismissed hours after Norwich beat Brentford 2-1 for its first Premier League victory of the season. Mathias Normann put Norwich ahead with a terrific solo effort after just six minutes and Teemu Pukki’s penalty doubled the advantage before the half-hour mark in a battle of promoted clubs. Brentford cut the lead in the 60th when substitute Saman Ghoddos’ cross found Rico Henry unmarked at the far post. Henry reached out with his left foot to redirect the ball into the net.
