Norwich City midfielder Bradley Johnson has praised the team's fighting spirit following their late 2-1 win at Blackburn Rovers.

The Canaries made it five consecutive victories in the Championship on Tuesday as Johnson scored a spectacular winner six minutes from time at Ewood Park.

Johnson believes that Norwich are starting to hit their stride at the right time as they look to challenge for the playoffs.

"We showed character to fight to the end and to get the result is so relieving - you could see that from the celebrations afterwards. We made it hard for ourselves in the end but we were fantastic, especially the defence," he told the club's official website.

"You can see from the past five or six games we're together now. There are no individuals and we're working together as a team. That's credit to the manager; he's come in and got us fighting from the first whistle to the last."

Norwich return to action on Sunday when they host local rivals and fellow promotion contenders Ipswich Town.
