The goals of Marko Sykes and Nahki Wells took Bristol City to championship seats for a 2-1 win over Norwich in Ashton Gate.
After six minutes, Sykes shot from the house in front of six minutes, with his left leg with his left legs, crossed to the right to finish the move that started running a strong running of Dickie’s goods.
It was 2-0 after 23 minutes when Norwich’s defender Jose Cordoba was caught in a possession he wanted to play from the back, and Joe Williams fed Wells, whose smart turn and a low goal from George Long’s goalkeeper.
Borja Sainz gave Norwich’s hope with a low, close range from the Cross of 82 Callum Doyle, but despite the late pressure they could not force the equalizer.
The hosts made four changes from their draw at Sheffield United at Sheffield, bringing Cameron Pring, Mark Sykes, Anise Mehmeti and Wells, while Norwich responded to a 3-2 home against Sheffield on Wednesday, inviting Long, Josh Sargent and Jacob Sorensen.
The canaries responded well to the Sykes early strike, and goalkeeper Bristol City Max O’Leary had to save diving in a fast succession from Doyle and Emilian Marcondes.
Shortly after Sainz hit the base of the post with a low ride of the 14th minute.
Wells’s goal was the home printing reward, who had opponents in difficulty building from the back.
But Norwich was still threatening and Sargent shot into a side net from another good opening.
Visitors were wide open to counterattack, and only Wells will know that he failed to achieve 3-0 after 36 minutes, when he dived for a long time to fall to the maximum of birds and was on the ground when the attacker moved unmarked to jump.
The guard somehow recovered to reject a shot.
Sainz shot six meters from Kellen Fisher Cross, and O’Leary’s naked naked after 37 minutes, and the game looked far from the break.
Shooting at his own fans, Norwich started the second half, and Ante Crnac shot from Doyle’s Cross in the 50th minute.
The canaries then made a change, sending Marcelino Nunez for Cordoba.
Bristol City sent a strong striker Sinclair Armstrong for Wells and started playing more directly. The smooth shift to the right after 67 minutes ended with Sykes who fired a angle for the corner.
Still, Norwich refused to lie down and Sargent forced flying from O’Leary by effort from afar, while at the other end of Armstrong he shot into the side net.
Sainz’s goal gave Norwich a renewed conviction and the visitors continued from death, but when the last minute was a free kick from Nunez across their hopes.
