The Canaries remained unbeaten under new head coach Daniel Farke – following their eight-game pre-season programme, and kicking off their EFL Championship campaign with a decent 1-1 draw at highly fancied Fulham.
Then Tuesday night’s 3-2 Carabao Cup first-round home win over Swindon continued the run.
