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 league game in charge, the Canaries raced into a 3-0 lead inside 18 minutes through a Michael Rose own goal and strikes by Onel Hernández and Josh Sargent.

Coventry reduced the deficit to one with quickfire goals from Jamie Allen and Kasey Palmer – the first five goals came inside the opening 26 minutes – before Kieran Dowell added a fourth for Norwich in the 65th minute.
