Norwich picked up their first Premier League win of the season at the 11th time of asking by beating Brentford, but it was not enough to prevent manager Daniel Farke being sacked hours later.

The Canaries made a dream start when Mathias Normann slotted in from the edge of the area after a good run.

It was the first time Norwich had been ahead in a league game this season, although only a superb save from Tim Krul to deny Christian Norgaard from point-blank range prevented Brentford from quickly drawing level.

It proved a crucial save because Norwich doubled their lead midway through the first half when Teemu Pukki was brought down inside the box by Charlie Goode. The Finland striker stepped up to score the penalty.

But they endured a nervous second half as Brentford put on the pressure. Bryan Mbeumo had a goal ruled out for offside before Rico Henry volleyed home to make it 2-1.

"My body is burning, I hate losing," Frank said. "I will be devastated tonight but then I will have 24 hours and then need to go again.

"Out of the last four games we lost - three top performances we should have won and we were bad against Burnley."
