In the 20th minute Norwich took the lead through Robert Snodgrass, who arrived in the box to meet Johan Elmander's pullback and placed a low strike into the bottom corner.

Alexander Tettey scored a second for the home side in the 32nd minute when he latched onto John O'Shea's headed clearance and fired a long-range volley into the far corner past Vito Mannone.

Norwich almost added a third goal at the start of the second half when Ricky van Wolfswinkel met Wes Hoolahan's cross but saw his downwards header tipped over by the keeper.
