TEEMU Pukki scored his first goal of the season as Norwich made it five wins in a row with victory at home to Coventry on Saturday.

Josh Sargent and Kieran Dowell added the others in a 3-0 success for the Canaries.

Sargent, who now has five goals this season, said: “I’m not a natural winger, so trying to creep inside and create a link-up with Teemu is what I was I was thinking.”

Bristol City moved up to fourth in the table with a 3-2 win at Blackburn Rovers.

Goals either side of half-time from Tommy Conway and Nahki Wells put the visitors in control before Tyrhys Dolan pulled a goal back.

Wells made it 3-1 but Ben Brereton Diaz gave Blackburn hope late on.

Watford remain in the playoff spots after a 1-1 draw at Rotherham United.

Defender Richard Wood gave the home side a second-minute lead.
