"We have been playing very well of late, with wins over the top two and the FA Cup success against Blackburn, but it was never easy for us against a Norwich side fighting for their lives," said Coleman to the media after the 2-1 win.
"They made it tough for us, and this time last year we'd have probably lost that game.
"Norwich probably should have had a penalty in the second half for handball - that's how it goes when you are down near the bottom. Fortunately we had that little bit of luck today."
