Norwich City boss Dean Smith felt Shota Arveladze's men were fortunate to escape with three huge points at the MKM Stadium on Saturday afternoon, after beating the Canaries 2-1.

Despite being under heavy bombardment in the opening 10 minutes, Hull City recovered and worked their way into the game eventually taking the lead when Oscar Estupinan picked the pocket of goalkeeper Tim Krul to poke in his first, before lashing in his second early in the second half.

Norwich found a way back into the game 18 minutes from time when Marcelino Nunez crashed a fine free-kick into Matt Ingram's net, but the Canaries could not add to that strike, with City holding firm and making it seven points from nine at the start of the Championship campaign.

Smith, though, admitted his frustration at his side's profligacy in front of goal, coupled with their defensive errors to see them remain winless this term. “We dominated the game and gave away a calamitous (first) goal," he said. “It was certainly an eventful afternoon.
