James Maddison's 14th goal of the season helped Norwich get back to winnings way with a well deserved 3-2 victory that piled the pressure on Jaap Stam's Reading.
The Canaries scored three times in an exciting first half in a victory that followed a run of just six points from seven games.
Mario Vrancic and Grant Hanley both headed home from corners to put Norwich 2-0 up before Liam Kelly pulled one back, only for Maddison to restore Norwich's two-goal advantage from the spot after 37 minutes.
Sam Smith reduced the arrears early in the second period but it was not enough to prevent the Royals slipping closer to the Championship drop after a run of just one win in 18 matches.
