A Grant Holt double saw Norwich City come from behind to lead Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 after 45 minutes at Carrow Road.

Matt Jarvis had given Wolves the lead on 25 minutes but an excellent individual effort and a penalty from the Canaries captain saw the hosts turn the game around.

Both sides threatened from early set pieces as Kevin Doyle forced a save out of Canaries stopper John Ruddy before Zak Whitbread had a header cleared off the line by Michael Kightly at the other end.

Kightly was the instigator for Wolves' opener, as his cross was flicked on by Doyle before Jarvis turned the ball into the bottom corner.

Almost immediately Norwich equalised as Holt latched onto Simeon Jackson's pass, lifted the ball over Wayne Hennessey and headed it into an empty net.

Eggert Johnson's deliberate handball then resulted in a Canaries spot kick, which Holt confidently converted to give Norwich the advantage after 45 minutes.
