Norwich 3-1 Birmingham: Marcelino Nunez double beats Blues

Chilean midfielder Marcelino Nunez scored twice as Norwich beat Birmingham City to further revive their Championship promotion hopes.

Nunez netted twice in the space of 10 first-half minutes to put the Canaries in charge at the break.

Blues got one back with Max Colin's early second-half strike and in the light of their current off-field woes, put up a spirited second-half display.

But they could not summon an equaliser and their third straight defeat was finally sealed in the fourth minute of injury time.

Nunez went down the left to set up Christos Tzolis for the clinching third as Norwich completed a double, having won 2-1 at St Andrew's in late August, to move back within one point of the play-off zone.
