DEAN SMITH

urged Norwich supporters to keep their cool following defeat at Hull. Imposing forward Oscar Estupinan netted with two tap-ins after 43 and 62 minutes for the home side. Marcelino Nunez gave Norwich hope with a fine freekick, but the visitors only got going when it was too late. Smith, whose players were jeered off by factions of the away support, said: ‘We dominated the game and gave away a calamitous first goal.’ Shota Arveladze accepted Hull were up against it for long periods, but was left to reflect upon a win that put his side top of the table. The boss said: ‘The quality of the opposition made it difficult, we had a really good game.’
