That result took them off the bottom until Newcastle drew 1-1 at Brighton a few hours later on Saturday, watched by Eddie Howe, who is expected to be confirmed as the Magpies new manager imminently.

At the top Premier League leaders Chelsea had to settle for a 1-1 draw against 18th-place Burnley, who exploited the Blues' lack of finishing to come away from Stamford Bridge with what could prove to a crucial point.

The London side remain in first with 26 points, but defending champions Manchester City are just three points behind after beating United 2-0 in the Manchester derby.

Chelsea had 70 per cent possession and outshot the Clarets 25-5, yet the Blues felt the absence of injured striker Romelu Lukaku.

Only Kai Havertz managed to put the ball past Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope, scoring in the 33rd minute with a tremendous header off Reece James' well-placed cross.

With 11 minutes left in regulation, Jay Rodriguez directed the ball into the path of Matej Vydra, who beat Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy to make it 1-1.

It was only the fourth goal conceded by Mendy in the Premier League this season.

Joao Cancelo was involved in both Manchester City goals on Saturday as City brushed aside a shambolic Manchester United at Old Trafford, piling more pressure on Red Devils coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

City, who dominated most of the game, struck in the seventh minute, when Ivorian defender Eric Bailly turned a low cross from Cancelo into his own goal.

Pep Guardiola's team scored again in the final minutes of the first half, as United defenders misjudged a cross from Cancelo and the City defender's Portuguese countryman Bernardo Silva slipped the ball beyond David De Gea, who made key interventions to prevent the visitors from increasing their tally before the intermission.

Norwich's win came via goals from Mathias Normann and, from the spot, Teemu Pukki, the Canaries hanging on after Rico Henry volleyed home to make it 2-1.

Newcastle came from behind the draw at Brighton, Isaac Hayden levelling Leandro Trossard's first-half penalty. They would have won had Brighton 'keeper Robert Sanchez not committed a professional foul to deny Callum Wilson in the final minutes.

Elsewhere Crystal Palace beat Wolves 2--0 with goals from Wilf Zaha and Conor Gallagher.
