Teemu Pukki took his tally to 26 for the season as his double eased Norwich to their eighth successive victory in a a 4-0 thrashing of QPR in The Championship on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Finnish international’s brace plus goals by Emiliano Buendia and Marco Stiepermann sent them eight points clear at the top — though second-placed Leeds can reduce it to five points if they beat Birmingham away later on Saturday.
Third-placed Sheffield United — who are 10 points adrift — are away at play-off chasing Preston North End.
Buendia — who has hit form too scoring five goals in his last eight matches — blotted his copybook in the second-half earning a straight red card for a two-footed lunge.
However, a hapless QPR — who showed little improvement despite sacking Steve McClaren earlier in the week — found no answer and with just one win in their last 16 league games hover eight points above the bottom three.
