Daniel Farke did not want to be the story of Norwich City versus Leeds United but nothing at Carrow Road - not even the Whites' late winner - was more inevitable.
Managers, the good and the likeable among them at least, often try to remove themselves from the narrative by rubbishing talk of chess matches or individual battles of wits. Farke did that and more in his pre-game press conference, straight batting questions about his personal duel with David Wagner and the emotion surrounding a return to Norwich.
James was next up, Leeds racing away on yet another counter that produced the same result - a shot off target. Leeds' attacking monologue was interrupted by a good chance for Gabriel Sara, a player the visitors simply did not get to grips with, and before the break that proved costly.
