The thrilling encounter unfolded on Saturday afternoon at Carrow Road, where Norwich initially fell behind in the 24th minute after Milan van Ewijk scored for Coventry. Despite dominating possession in the second half, the Canaries struggled to find an equalizer and went into halftime trailing 1-0.
Seeking a spark, Norwich manager David Wagner introduced Amankwah in the 84th minute, replacing Kellen Fisher. The 20-year-old wasted no time making his presence felt, delivering a stunning late performance.
In a pulsating finale, Amankwah fired home the equalizer in the 91st minute, igniting the Carrow Road crowd. He then completed the dramatic turnaround with a decisive goal in the 95th minute, securing all three points for Norwich.
