James Harper's goal on the hour mark settled the game at Carrow Road although Dean Ashton missed a penalty for the home side in the dying seconds.

"We were a bit lucky to take all three points but we battled away and that's why we took the win," Coppell said after the game.

"We didn't create too many chances but neither did they, though I accept they had more of the game.

"If that penalty went in it would have hurt, we had worked so hard to keep them out."
