Everton winger Seamus Coleman isn't surprised by Norwich City's success this season.

Having been involved in Blackpool's promotion-push to the top flight during a spell on loan at the seaside outfit last year, Coleman feels he can relate to the mood in the Norwich camp.

He told evertontv: "I'm sure all their players are hungry for it in this league and are trying to prove themselves in the top league, which is something I'm still trying to do week in, week out. They are keen to make a name for themselves in the Premier League and that is probably why they've started to do so well in the Premier League this season.

"Paul Lambert has been fantastic with them and his record of back-to-back promotions speaks for itself. I wish him well, but not when they play us."
