Michael Kightly's winner helped Burton move clear of the relegation zone in the Sky Bet Championship

Michael Kightly scored a delightful winner for Burton against Norwich at the Pirelli Stadium.

Burton moved four points clear of the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone thanks to their 2-1 win over play-off chasing Norwich.

Kightly's lob from just outside the area proved decisive, with his strike coming minutes after Cameron Jerome had contentiously levelled for the Canaries, cancelling out Cauley Woodrow's first-half opener.

Woodrow sent Kightly on his way towards goal and an outstanding first touch from the winger took him past Russell Martin before he beat the advancing Ruddy with a superb 20-yard chipped effort.

Loan signings Woodrow and Kightly were the goalscorers in Burton's last game at the Pirelli Stadium against Wolves - also a 2-1 win - and this latest offering snapped Norwich's six-match unbeaten run.

It was a victory that Albion deserved for another hard working performance to leave Norwich seven points adrift of sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday.
