Teemu Pukki fired the Canaries in front early on from a Marco Stiepermann pass and doubled the advantage eight minutes later with the aid of a deflection after latching on to Jacob Sorensen’s long ball.

Seconds later Jack Hunt pulled a goal back for Bristol, firing home from Jamie Paterson’s cross to the far post.

But in first-half stoppage time, Emiliano Buendia produced a brilliant first touch to control a long ball from Ben Gibson before slotting past Dan Bentley.

Bristol were awarded a 73rd-minute penalty when Tomas Kalas was brought down by Jacob Sorensen, but Nahki Wells chipped his spot-kick over the bar.

A delighted Farke said: “Thirteen points from the last five games is fantastic and makes us the team-of-the-moment in the Championship.
