Norwich City's 5-0 win at West Brom on Tuesday night is a reward for the hard work they are doing, says head coach Philippe Clement.

The victory at The Hawthorns was the Canaries second successive away win after a 2-1 win at Wrexham on Saturday.

"I'm really happy for the fans and happy for the players as well, that they get their reward for all the hard work that they have been doing, that they are doing and they need to keep on doing, let's be clear about that," Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"I'm really pleased for the clean sheet, scoring five goals, five different goalscorers. A few weeks ago, we talked about that, that we were too dependent on our strikers to score the goals and that we had to attack more with the whole team.

Norwich are now out of the Championship relegation zone and next host leaders Coventry on Monday, 26 January (20:00 GMT).

"Also, two tough away games, winning, that's the first time this season - I think even two games in a row winning for the first time, so a lot of positives and also to see all the fans so happy and singing and all the smiling faces – that gives me a lot of energy," added Clement.
