Norwich sunk to another defeat on the road this season as they lost 2-1 to Burton Albion yesterday.
The Canaries were stripped of their wings by the Brewers as the relegation strugglers produced a superb, dogged, display to claim a vital three points.
The result leaves Norwich ten points adrift of Sheffield Wednesday and the play-off places, with Wednesday also having a game in-hand on Norwich.
It was Burton who took the lead in the match. Timm Klose was outdone on the touchline before Cauley Woodrow dispatched a cross into the box.
Cameron Jerome was fortunate to bring Norwich level when the ball appeared to rebound in off his hand to make it 1-1.
However, just as Norwich looked to take the lead, Burton hit on the counter-attack and Michael Kightly scored a fantastic goal to give the home side the lead.
The winger flicked the ball past Russell Martin with ease before lifting the ball over John Ruddy – who rushed out to block the shot.
Here is how we rated the Canaries…
