Timm Klose hopes Norwich's luck has turned after Saturday's 3-2 win over Newcastle edged the Canaries closer to Premier League survival.

Martin Olsson's stoppage-time strike secured back-to-back victories after Aleksandar Mitrovic twice drew the Magpies level.

Swiss defender Klose, a January signing from Wolfsburg, had opened the scoring for Alex Neil's men, who are now four points clear of Sunderland and six better off than Newcastle, although both have played one game fewer.

Norwich can draw level with 16th-placed Crystal Palace by winning at Selhurst Park next Saturday and play Sunderland at home the following week in two games key for their survival.

"Some games before we've not had luck on our side," Klose told Norwich City TV.

"This time we did, and it felt fantastic to win the game. I'm very happy at the moment because we've got two big wins in our last two games.

"It was good to get out on the pitch and get the three points.The only thing we had in our mind was winning. We didn't want to draw so we went for it at the end and got the luck.

"I hardly ever score, so it was a great feeling. I didn't know how to celebrate so I just ran around like a headless chicken.

"We have to keep playing well in order to keep this going."
