Norwich City moved within a point of the Championship play-off places on Tuesday night after a Nelson Oliveira goal gave them a deserved victory over a toothless Aston Villa.

Steve Bruce's side failed to register a shot on target as they absorbed heavy pressure from a dynamic Norwich to go in at half-time with the scoreline level.

But Oliveira would finally make the breakthrough in the 62nd minute with a left-footed shot from outside the box.
