Ghanaian-born Norwegian midfielder Alexander Tettey was handed the captain’s armband and he did inspire Norwich City to a slim 1-0 win over 10-man Middlesbrough at home on Saturday.
Boro striker Gestede was shown a straight red in the 28th minute for a lunge on Grant Hanley, five minutes after being booked for a high foot.
Norwich capitalized on their man advantage on the stroke of half-time through a long-range strike from German midfielder Tom Trybull.
The win ensures the Canaries stayed 13th on the Championship standings while Boro slipped a place to ninth, six points adrift of the final playoff spot.
