Norwich ease pressure on Hughton with win over Spurs

Norwich: Robert Snodgrass scored early in the second half to earn Norwich City a precious 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and ease the pressure on under-fire manager Chris Hughton.

Media reports emerged during the week that Hughton`s job was under threat with his team having picked up one win from 13 matches in all competitions. However, Snodgrass`s calm finish after being put through by Bradley Johnson earned his side a well-deserved win against a sluggish Spurs team who had to travel to Ukraine for a Europa League match on Thursday. The defeat meant Spurs fell six points behind fourth-placed Liverpool, 4-3 winners over Swansea City earlier on Sunday, while Norwich moved up to 14th, four points above the relegation zone.
