Chris Hughton decides not to be too downbeat despite seeing his Norwich City side slump to three successive Premier League losses.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has refused to be too disappointed by his side's recent run of results.

Prior to last Saturday's encounter with West Bromwich Albion, the Canaries had not been beaten during their last 10 outings in the Premier League.

However, having lost at West Brom, Hughton's team have since gone on to lose to Chelsea and Manchester City in front of their own supporters over the festive period.

Despite the negative results, Hughton has insisted that there has not been a lot between Norwich and their opponents.

"What we have to look at is who those three opponents were," he told the club's official website. "I think it shows how good the run was when we were on it. We had a tough game at West Brom, and then Chelsea and Man City.

"In all three we've lost by one goal, which shows we were in those games. What we need to do is turn those close games in our favour."

The three defeats have seen Norwich slip to 11th in the Premier League table.
