Norwich came from behind to win at Walsall and move three points clear at the top of League One.
Walsall looked on course to pull off a shock win when Troy Deeney fought off a challenge from Gary Doherty, rounded goalkeeper Fraser Forster and scored.
The Canaries equalised when Clayton Ince failed to cut out a corner from Wes Hoolahan and Chris Martin stabbed in his 18th goal of the season.
And Cody McDonald volleyed the winner to seal Norwich's seventh straight win.
Norwich manager Paul Lambert told BBC Radio Norfolk:
"They have been incredible, dead on their feet after Saturday on a pitch that's really, really heavy, a big effort and what a result.
"Walsall are a good side, Chris has got them well organised and it's a tough place to come but the performance, again, was terrific.
"It's been tough for a lot of the lads to get into the team but he (McNamee) and Cody came on and they were excellent,"
