Norwich City showed further signs of revival as they came from two goals down to beat struggling Watford at Carrow Road and increase the pressure on Hornets head coach Alessio Dionisi.

The Canaries, who last weekend ended a six-match losing streak with a win at Charlton Athletic, seemed to have reverted to type as two goals from Myron Boadu, his first for the Hornets, had them in deep trouble at half-time.

Philippe Clement's side, however, turned it around as goals from Ben Chrisene, Anthony Musaba and Paris Maghoma brought them three points, which moved them closer to the play-off places than the bottom three.

Defeat deepens the gloom around Watford and Dionisi, who have now lost six of their last seven league games and remain without an away win since 27 February.

Norfolk has been a happy hunting ground for the Hornets in recent years, with five wins in their previous seven visits, and they stunned the home crowd into silence in the first half with two clinical counter-attacks from Boadu.

Norwich pressed forward from the off but Watford scored from their first real attack. Hector Kyprianou did brilliantly under pressure to retain the ball and then free Iker Bravo, and when he slid a pass down the right side of the home defence Netherlands international Boadu latched onto it and calmly lifted his shot over goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw.

The Canaries sought to make amends and Maghoma went close, but the defensive horrors that have let Clement down this season were evident again as Mattie Pollock's pass found Boadu, who feinted to cut inside, went outside and fired across Grimshaw and into the corner.

Boos greeted the Canaries players as they left the field at half-time, but they were far better after the break, and level within eight minutes as Watford buckled under intense pressure.

Goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia did well to palm Jose Cordoba's powerful header up in the air but Pollock's clearing header only reached as far as Chrisene, whose left-footed volley flashed into the net.

That lifted the mood, Norwich were rampant and in the 62nd minute they were level through Musaba.

Mathias Kvistgaarden held the ball well on halfway and then released the pacy on-loan Fenerbahce player, who cut inside and swept his shot beyond Ravaglia.

The comeback was complete with 19 minutes remaining after another impressive attack, with Kvistgaarden again central.

His run down the left side of the Watford defence opened up the visitors and he coolly pulled his cross back into the path of Maghoma, and the midfielder clinically picked out the corner of the net.

Norwich head coach Philippe Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk:

"For the group it's a really good way to come back and show the unity, and how they are physically to respond like that and overrun opponents.

"Of course, you don't want to go behind in that way. We started really well, with good football and good chances and getting the fans behind you.

"It was all there, and then on one transition we don't defend well, then on a second transition we don't defend well, and out of nothing you are 0-2 behind.

"Then you have to have a strong mentality to change that around, and that's what the players did in the second half.

"This is a really clear statement about the unity in this group and how hungry they are to dig out results."

Watford head coach Alessio Dionisi told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"It's difficult to explain the difference between the first and second halves. Football is crazy.

"It's impossible to lose a match in 15 minutes, when it was 2-0 at the end of the first half. The match changed after five minutes in the second half, and I didn't understand why.

"We arrived late in every situation. I watched too many mistakes in the second half. It's impossible to win if we arrive late, and if we don't want to win.

"We need courage to play, with the ball and without the ball we [need to] block because it's impossible for us to stay high for 90 minutes."
