Nelson Oliveira was not quite as rebellious in his reaction to returning to getting the chance to impress but he was even more effective.
City boss Daniel Farke livened his City side up by making five changes from the team that lost 3-1 at home to Sunderland on Sunday.
Benefitting from the reshuffle was striker Oliveira who made his feelings about being left out on the opening day at Fulham by scoring an equaliser and peeling his shirt off the flout his name to the manager in defiant fashion.
There were less histrionics this time when he put Norwich ahead four minutes into the second half, as he gleefully celebrated with his teammates and avoided his coach.
