Norwich took another big step away from the Championship drop zone as they beat relegation-rivals Blackburn 2-0 to make it four wins in five league games.

A scrappy encounter was lit up by a quick one-two just past the midway point of the second half, with Anis Ben Slimane on target with his fourth goal in five games and Mohamed Toure netting on his debut.

Slimane opened the scoring after 73 minutes, slotting in the rebound after Oscar Schwartau's shot had come back off the woodwork and Toure quickly added a second from close range.

Struggling Blackburn gave the hosts a run for their money and might have come away with a point on another day, but they could have few complaints about the result, having failed to trouble goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic all afternoon.
