  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 08:33, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• "while Norwich's top marksman" - think the word in bold is informal and could be replaced by a more formal word

Post-match

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 08:33, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• "Norwich ended the next season in 19th position in the 2016–17 Premier League," - shouldn't that be 2015–16 Premier League since this article is about the 2014–15 season?
