Norwich City striker Cameron Jerome scored his fifth goal of the season against Wolves

Norwich City moved back up into the Championship's top two with an impressive victory at Wolves.

The Canaries, who surrendered a 3-1 lead to lose at Newcastle on Wednesday, went ahead at Molineux when Cameron Jerome headed past Carl Ikeme.

Robbie Brady doubled the advantage with a fine curling effort, moments after Nouha Dicko spurned a great chance in his first senior match for 13 months.

Dave Edwards headed a late consolation for Wolves, who remain in 12th.

Following eye-catching wins over Newcastle and Brentford, Walter Zenga's side have now lost successive matches for the first time this season - and they will rue several missed opportunities when the score was 1-0 against Norwich.

Dicko, only just on as a substitute for his first appearance since suffering a cruciate ligament injury in August 2015, was most guilty, miscontrolling when well placed and then allowing Michael McGovern to make a smart save.

Conor Coady also failed to hit the target from inside the area, shooting over the crossbar as the home team pressed for an equaliser.

But Brady's superbly-taken goal from 25 yards proved decisive, giving Norwich their seventh league win of the season and their fifth in six matches.
