NORWICH City boss Johannes Hoff Thorup was delighted with his side’s performance as they made it four wins in six games to maintain their climb up the table after a slow start.

The Canaries took the game by the scruff of the neck early on by scoring twice in the space of five minutes.

Marcelino Nunez set the ball rolling after 16 minutes by firing home from just outside the area after being set up by Sainz, who then crossed for Josh Sargent to slide home.

Sargent hit a post from the penalty spot early in the second period, but Norwich shrugged off the setback to score two more to seal an emphatic win.

Thorup said: “We are getting better week to week, I think that is clear to see. There are still things to work on – but we are certainly getting there.
