Norwich manager Dean Smith hailed Bristol City as the bravest side to have visited Carrow Road this season and praised Nigel Pearson's continued development of his team.
The Robins came up short against the promotion hopefuls at Carrow Road after Teemu Pukki took advantage of two Kal Naismith errors in the first half but the visitors were arguably the better of the two sides on the evening.
Their relentless first-half pressure was rewarded on the stroke of half-time when Tommy Conway headed City back into the contest. It was Norwich's third that delivered the killer blow at a crucial time when Josh Sargent scored from a corner against the run of play just after the hour mark.
