Republic of Ireland international Adam Idah scored his first Premier League goal for Norwich on Saturday against Everton.
Norwich went into an early lead just 16 minutes into the match, after Michael Keane recorded an own goal. It came off a Josh Sargent cross kick that was deflected by Keane into the back of the ent.
However the highlight of the first half, particularly for Irish fans, came just two minutes later, as Idah finished off a brilliant run from Brandon Williams to go two-up midway through the first half.

While Everton were able to get one back, Norwich managed to maintain their lead at full time, earning their first win in the League since November.
