Mohamed Toure's debut goal helped Norwich City beat Blackburn Rovers to continue their revival under Philippe Clement and climb further away from the Championship drop zone. Slimane's fourth goal in five games broke Blackburn's stubborn resistance and Toure added a second six minutes later after great work by fellow substitute Oscar Schwartau. The Canaries have been transformed under former Rangers boss Clement and the Belgian coach has presided over eight wins and three draws from his 16 league games in charge. The hosts suffered a blow when 13-goal top scorer Jovon Makama went off injured after the break to be replaced by Australia striker Toure, a £2.6m signing from Danish side Randers, who came on for his debut. Finally, Norwich played with some confidence and Schwartau capitalised on a Blackburn slip to force a save from Rovers goalkeeper Balazs Toth and Toure volleyed the loose ball into the empty net.
