Norwich boss Dean Smith insists they didn't deserve their 0-3 scoreline against Newcastle on Saturday.

The Toon won via goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton (2).

“First and foremost, I don't think it was a 3-0 performance," Smith said, “but we've continually made mistakes that have given goals away. We did it last week at United and it keeps costing us. If you do make the level of mistakes that we make, it's going to cost you wins and points and it has done all season.

“Are we developing? I think, individually, they are, but not quick enough at this level and that's something that we have to be aware of.

“The first goal changed the game. I thought there was nothing in the game. I thought we'd threatened. Teemu had a good chance. Last week, he slotted it. This week, the goalkeeper's done well to force him wide and they had a chance with Murphy, but pace has killed us in the end today and we didn't deal with their pace over the top for the first and second goals.

“Ultimately, it's a big ask to come back and Tim makes a mistake to make it three, so I'm frustrated again, but the supporters don't want to hear me being frustrated. They want to see us winning games, but at this level it's really tough unless we cut out the mistakes we were making."
