Norwich picked up all three points for the first time since Todd Cantwell and Dennis Srbeny scored to give the Canaries a 2-0 win over, at the time, relegation rivals Everton.
The home side dominated the opening exchanges against Bournemouth, and after the Canaries had missed a few chances which they should have scored, Teemu Pukki settled the Carrow Road nerves with a calm penalty.
After Steve Cook made a save that any keeper would be proud of, he was sent off and not only did Norwich have a one goal lead, they had a man advantage.
Despite Ben Godfrey’s dismissal for a late challenge on out of form striker Callum Wilson, Bournemouth failed to create anything for the rest of the game and Norwich weren’t tested as much as they were probably expecting.
