Man-of-the-match Adam Idah was keen to lay praise at the Norwich City collective following their 2-1 victory over Everton.

The Irish international striker led the line superbly for the Canaries, netting the decisive second goal on 18 minutes following a brilliant through ball from Brandon Williams.

However, Idah said the victory was down to an excellent all-round team performance.

"Everyone played their part today," he said to canaries.co.uk after the game. "Whether it was the attackers or defenders, we all did well and we grinded out the result.

"That's what we needed in a game like today. We need to build on this now and go from here.

"We're really confident as a club. We believe that we're good enough to stay in this league.

"We just need to get as much wins as we can and get as many points as we can."

Reflecting on his first Premier League goal, Idah said: "It's a great feeling for me, obviously to do it at home as well - it's my first (Premier League) start at Carrow Road. It's an amazing feeling, I've wanted it for a long time.

"I'm over the moon to score, but even more to get three points today.

"Brandon has been excellent all season. Today, we spoke before the game and he said he's going to give me an assist. So it worked out quite well.

Idah was handed a starting berth by Dean Smith on Wednesday night for the game at West Ham United, and he looked as sharp he ever has in a yellow and green jersey.

He backed that up with another impressive display on Saturday, and Idah now hopes he can continue his run in the starting eleven.

"Every player wants to be playing week in, week out. It's probably very difficult for the gaffer to pick his team.

"I've been patient for the last two and a half years and the West Ham game was my opportunity and I'm glad I took that.

"It helped today. Hopefully I can keep this going now and stay in the team."
