Norwich midfielder Mario Vrancic came off the bench to score his first goal of the season

Norwich City registered back-to-back league victories for the first time this season as they won at Championship strugglers Reading.

Finland international Teemu Pukki latched on to Todd Cantwell's through ball to slot home his fourth league goal of the season and put the Canaries ahead with 14 minutes gone.

Substitute Jon Dadi Bodvarsson equalised from close range soon after Sam Baldock jabbed an effort onto the upright.

However, the Royals were only level for a minute before Mario Vrancic showed composure to restore Norwich's lead with a precise low strike.

Daniel Farke's side comfortably held on to record their first away league win since January as they consigned Reading to a fourth home defeat of the season.

The Royals had registered their first league success of the season at Preston on Saturday but boos rang out at the full-time whistle at the Madejski Stadium, with Paul Clement's side the only club in the division yet to pick up a point at home.

The hosts rarely threatened Tim Krul in the Norwich goal, although the Dutchman had to turn a powerful shot from Yakou Meite behind for a corner just after the half-hour mark.

Vrancic almost extended Norwich's lead late on but Sam Walker saved his effort from point-blank range.

Norwich had gone 11 games without an away win in the Championship, a run stretching back to their victory at Brentford on 27 January, but their three-point haul in Berkshire stretches their unbeaten run to three games.

Reading manager Paul Clement told BBC Radio Berkshire:

"It was a very frustrating evening after the win at Preston gave us a boost coming into the game.

"The home form has not been good but we were so slow out of the traps, and on a fundamental level we were getting so many things wrong.

"The attitude and commitment wasn't right but there was a good response at the start of the second half and we pinned them back.

"It was absolute naivety to let them get back into it so quickly. We have shot ourselves in the foot."

Norwich boss Daniel Farke told BBC Radio Norfolk:

"I am really proud of this win and how we handled the situation, with injuries to important players.

"We always look like we can score and it is a sign of our quality this season. I think it is a well deserved win as we had more chance.

"We spoke at the beginning of the season that we need each and every player and a great togetherness, and the spirit at the moment is proof of that."
