Darling: 'I'm buzzing about the clean sheets'

Norwich City defender Harry Darling said the Canaries' fourth consecutive Championship win was a reminder "of how good we can be".

Philippe Clement's side's 5-0 win at Bristol City followed a 4-0 win at Derby County in midweek and has lifted the Norfolk side up to 12th in the table.

Their winning run, which has also seen them come from behind to beat Charlton Athletic and Watford, has seen Clement's team move from being one point outside the relegation zone to 11 points clear and only three short of the final play-off place.

Darling, who scored Norwich's second at Ashton Gate, said: "After the Derby game, we wanted to back it up again and it was a really good performance."

Since fighting back from 2-0 down to beat Watford on 31 October, Norwich have now scored 12 unanswered goals in three matches.

"To be honest I'm more buzzing about the clean sheets," Darling told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"We haven't been good enough, especially at the start of the season with goals, and to get back-to-back clean sheets was a really big goal for us.

"On the back of last year, we know how good we can be. Obviously we didn't show that at the start of the season and we weren't good enough. It's nice to get back to where we were a little bit - we just want to keep pushing on."
