Todd Cantwell (pictured) scored directly from a corner as Norwich City enjoyed a 3-1 win over Stoke City, for whom Moussa Niakate had a debut to forget. 

The 23rd-minute effort from Cantwell flew into the far corner to put Norwich ahead before Tyrese Campbell quickly equalised for Stoke.

Niakate, a defender signed on Monday, was shown a straight red card for lashing out just before the break.

Pierre Fonkeu restored Norwich's lead midway through the second half and Devonte Aransibia scored their third. 

The Canaries move up to seventh, five points behind fifth-placed Fulham, while Stoke stay one place off the bottom of the table.
