Read all the top social media reaction following Norwich City’s superb Carrow Road comeback win over Bristol City, to preserve their lead at the top of the Championship.

Have to admit, #BristolCity scared me more than any team we've played this season. 100% good enough to finish playoffs and wouldn't be surprised if they won it. Decent fans too.

I don't usually brown nose though, but credit where credit's due.

What an incredible side this is!! The relentless will to win, driven on by big game players, is staggering and actually moving to watch! So bloody proud! #ncfc

Hey #BristolCity , are we still falling apart like Ipswich or??

Just a reminder that Bristol City paid us one MILLION pounds to sign Marley Watkins.

Which is roughly the same total fee that we've paid for Krul, Aarons, Zimmerman, Godfrey, Lewis, Trybull, Vrancic, McLean, Cantwell and Pukki combined #ncfc

In my 56 years I've seen some great #ncfc players and teams but the football this squad play and their never say die attitude I've not seen better #teamfarke

What's wrong with me. Feel as if I spent 90 minutes on the pitch instead of in the stands. Exhausted. (Nervous exhaustion!) Throat hoarse. We'll done the #ncfc lads. And respect to you for your respect to all of us after the match.

I reckon Mr Farke is enjoying this season. Call me psychic if you want... #ncfc #GoingUpGoingDown

Kenny McLean’s first double for the Canaries played its part – although the afternoon was far from straightforward for Daniel Farke’s men.

McLean’s first cancelled out Jamie Paterson’s opener, only for Callum O’Dowda to restore the Robins’ lead within 60 seconds.

But the second half belonged to Norwich, as Ben Godfrey drew City level for a second time before McLean’s gorgeous strike booked a 19 win of the season for the Championship leaders.

Huge win. Bristol City a better than decent side. To come from behind to win is a mark of #ncfc this season. Bravo #winordie

Perfect to see this banner as part of the fantastic atmos today - different but not separate, remarkable but included; if only #Football had treated #JustinFashanu that way after he left #NCFC. Thanks to @BE_Norwich @AlongComeNodge & @RobotCanary and to @NorwichCityFC ?'??? pic.twitter.com/cNvI8Em28d

Fair result. As soon as Norwich equalised, this game was only going one way. Norwich dangerous everytime they attacked. We held our own 1st half. O-Dowda goal something special. #BristolCity pic.twitter.com/FB3oZwZuDH

This Norwich team though. Full of massive hearts and interesting characters. To play for Farke you don't just have to work hard, you have to be a decent human. They make you care because they care. #ncfc

No shame in losing at Norwich. Good team and good club. Let's hope they go up before Leeds #BristolCity

Bristol City were superb at Carrow Road this afternoon, but Norwich were awesome in the second half. #ncfc #bcfc

City follow their Carrow Road date with a visit to Neil Harris’ Millwall on Saturday. City suffered a sobering 4-0 loss at The Den last season, just a handful of games into Daniel Farke’s reign.
