After a frustrating spell on the sidelines, Ghanaian midfielder Forson Amankwah marked his first league start since January with a pivotal performance, helping Norwich City secure a vital 2-1 win over Derby County at Carrow Road.

Amankwah, who had been sidelined by a hamstring injury that required a cautious recovery plan, was named in the starting eleven for the Championship clash on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old made an immediate impact, showcasing the energy and creativity that had been missing from the Canaries' midfield.

In just the first half, Amankwah drew a penalty after being fouled in the box and then provided a clever assist for Mohamed Toure, whose powerful finish gave Norwich the lead.

The visitors pulled one back after the break, but a second-half strike from Liam Gibbs secured all three points for the home side.

The win moved Norwich up to 9th place in the Championship table, keeping their hopes of a late playoff push alive. For Amankwah, the performance was a timely reminder of his quality after a challenging period. Speaking after the match, the Ghanaian expressed his relief and determination, stating, "It’s been a difficult few months, but I’m grateful to be back. I just want to help the team in any way I can."

With the season entering its final stretch, Amankwah’s return to form could prove to be a crucial asset for Norwich City as they aim to finish the campaign strongly.
