Moritz Leitner praises Norwich away supporters after Burnley defeat

Norwich City midfielder Moritz Leitner praised their away supporters, who stayed behind the team despite a 2-0 defeat to Burnley on Saturday.

Burnly won thanks to Chris Wood's early brace.

"The support in every game since I've been here has been amazing," he said. "We are really thankful, each and every player, even after a game like that they stayed behind us and tried to keep going. That's amazing and it's something special we have at this club. We will fight for them and I can only say thank you for the support in every minute of every game."

Leitner made a comeback from injury to feature at Turf Moor, replacing Alexander Tettey on the 12th minute, who had himself picked up a knock.

"As a player, you always want to come back after injury but it's not the most important thing," he said. "The most important thing is the club, and today we had a bad day. We have to show a reaction."
