Houghton praises 'pleasing' Norwich performance

Houghton: 'We were worthy winners'

Chris Hughton has said that he is proud of his players following their 3-2 win over Manchester City in the Premier League.

Goals from Anthony Pilkington, Grant Holt and Robert Snodgrass ensured that Norwich City ended the season with a win, and Hughton is happy with the performance of his team.

"I think what was pleasing was the performance," Hughton told talkSPORT.

"I thought we were worthy winners. We had to make sure we kept hold of the ball because they had a lot of possession."

Hughton also paid tribute to his players for securing Premier League safety for another season.

"We had a wonderful period right before Christmas where we went unbeaten for 10 games, but then we found it very difficult," he said.

"Credit to the team though, their heads never went down.The spirit here has always been very good."

Norwich City finished the season in 11th place.
