Just like losing last season, winning has become a habit for Norwich following their Championship return.
Four victories on the spin and 11 in their last 15 games have propelled Daniel Farke’s side to the top of the table after a shaky start while they settled back into the second tier after relegation, sealed with 10 straight defeats to end the campaign.
This success, secured thanks to Teemu Pukki’s second-half penalty, ensured they regained pole position and had a familiar outcome to each of the last three, a 2-1 scoreline in Norwich’s favour.
Farke expects Reading to be among the promotion rivals to his side and there were moments and spells to encourage manager Veljko Paunovic during this top six head-to-head.
