Free-scoring Norwich hit four as Coventry put to sword

Norwich continued their superb start under new boss David Wagner with a 4-2 victory at Coventry.

Having thrashed Preston 4-0 in Wagner’s first Championship game in charge, the Canaries raced into a 3-0 lead inside 18 minutes through a Michael Rose own goal, Onel Hernandez and Josh Sargent.

Coventry, watched by new majority owner Doug King, reduced the deficit to one with quickfire strikes from Jamie Allen and Kasey Palmer – all five goals coming inside the opening 26 minutes.

Things settled down after that but Kieran Dowell added a fourth for Norwich in the 65th minute, with leaders Burnley next up at Carrow Road in two weeks time.
