Comments and quotes following Coventry City's victory over relegation threatened Norwich.
'Guus Hiddink has never seen 22-year-old Dan Fox, but he will have to do his homework on Coventry's answer to David Beckham before Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final tie against Chelsea. Fox took most of his side's dead-ball kicks with bending shots and his winner was an extraordinary goal right out of the Beckham manual ' - Daily Mail.
'Daniel Fox's superb winner saw Norwich sunk 2-1 as they battle against the drop but underlined Coventry's resurgence in the Coca-Cola Championship' - soccernet.
'Fox fired Coventry ahead with a wonderful goal with 17 minutes left. He tormented Carl Cort to beat the experienced frontman three times on the edge of the area before showing expert composure to lift a shot over Cort and keeper Marshall. The angled shot hit the far post and dropped into the back of the net' - sundaymercury.net.
'[Norwich] made it tough for us, and this time last year we'd have probably lost that game' - Chris Coleman.
'You can work your socks off and don’t get the luck you deserve. Norwich probably should have had a penalty, if I am being honest, and when you are at the other end of the league you get those' - Chris Coleman.
'We have got to continue with what we are doing, which is hard work, showing a bit of excitement when we have got the ball, and being difficult to beat when we haven’t, because that’s a good mix' - Chris Coleman.
'I was talking to Scott Dann about the goal and I think it is my best goal yet .... I don’t want to big myself up too much but I have never done that in my life. I have never beaten anyone to score a goal. I usually just whack them as hard as I can and they go in' - Dan Fox.
'I haven't modelled myself on [David Beckham], but I do 50 or more free-kicks after training every day, and I'd love to score one like this against Petr Cech' - Dan Fox.
'The gaffer said before the game that this would be our toughest test because it is easy to get up for games against Wolves and Birmingham, and Blackburn at the Ricoh, but it is hard going to a place like Norwich who are down there battling at the moment. And going on their second-half performance I don’t think they deserve to be there .... But it was a massive three points and the biggest so far' - Dan Fox.
'There was a bit of a debate over whether it was my goal but I got it in the end, so I'm over the moon .... Leon tried to move out of the way and it hit his stud or something, but Besty said it was my goal' - Jordan Henderson.
'I'm enjoying playing football [at Coventry City]. It's first team football in front of big crowds every week and it's brilliant. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season' - Jordan Henderson.
'But unfortunately I'm concentrating on the referee again, because it has cost us points we would dearly love to have had. The handball with Wright was a stone-wall penalty - but it has not been given - Norwich boss Bryan Gunn.
'All I read, all I hear is that people think we're relegated and I don't think we are.... You take your hits, you get knocked down and you've got to get back up again' - Norwich boss Bryan Gunn.
'It's a disaster .... I don't know what's going on .... We were hoping that this was going to be a big weekend for us because we probably had the fixture that you'd have thought we could have got a result from' - Gary Doherty.
