Wolves 3-3 Norwich (Championship – 3^rd February, 2009)

Gary Doherty equalised to rescue a point for the Canaries but it was Sylvan Ebanks-Blake’s night at Molineux.

Ebanks-Blake put Wolves ahead for the first time in the 56th minute but Mick McCarthy’s side couldn’t hold on.

Wolves 2-2 Norwich (Premier League – 20^th December, 2011)

Mick McCarthy’s side fought back from behind twice to earn a point against an attack-minded Norwich team. Ex-Wolves man Andrew Surman headed the Canaries into an early lead before Ebanks-Blake grabbed a first-half equaliser. Simeon Jackson restored Norwich’s lead with 15 minutes to go but Paul Lambert’s side couldn’t hold on and Ronald Zubar netted to level the score.

Norwich 2-1 Wolves (Premier League – 24^th March, 2012)

A brace from Grant Holt handed Norwich a win over relegation-threatened Wolves. Michael Knightly had put Terry Connor’s side into the lead but Holt cancelled out that effort two minutes later. Holt secured three points for his side from the spot before being sent-off late on for a second bookable offense.

Wolves 1-0 Norwich (Championship – 10^th August, 2014)

Norwich were given a tough welcome back to Championship football as a David Edwards’ goal gave Wolves an opening day win. Kenny Jackett’s side were also making a return to Championship football, following their promotion from League One, and took the lead when Van La Parra crossed for Edwards to head home on the 64th minute. Norwich had gone down to 10 men four minutes earlier when Martin Olsson was given his second booking.

Norwich 2-0 Wolves (Championship -14^th February, 2015)

Goals from Bradley Johnson and Lewis Grabban handed Norwich a valuable victory over Championship rivals Wolves. The win moved Alex Neil’s side into the play-offs and six points off automatic promotion. Kenny Jackett’s side struggled to breakdown the Canaries and defeat saw them stay five points off a play-off place.
