Norwich fired themselves back to the top of the Sky Bet Championship table by seeing off strugglers Millwall 3-1.
Goals from Marco Stiepermann, Christoph Zimmermann and Teemu Pukki saw the on-song Canaries regain top spot from rivals Leeds, who hammered play-off contenders West Brom 4-0 on Friday night.
Daniel Farke’s league leaders secured their third win on the bounce and their fifth in six games as Millwall were condemned to back-to-back defeats at the Den for the first time since October 2016.
While Norwich made it a hat-trick of wins, Neil Harris’ outfit have now lost their last three.
The Lions’ recent dip in form leaves them tottering precariously above the dreaded drop zone – just a point above the bottom three.
Jake Cooper’s powerful header was blocked on the line before Steve Morison’s follow-up was also cleared on the line.
Moments later, Lee Gregory’s curling effort was well kept out by Dutch stopper Tim Krul in the Norwich net.
Just before the break, Pukki could only fire straight at Archer and the Lions levelled on the stroke of half-time when Shaun Williams headed home Morison’s flick-on off the frame of the goal.
Just before the hour, Morison headed the ball into Gregory’s path, but the striker failed to connect cleanly.
The German rose highest to meet Emi Buendia’s corner and sent his bullet header beyond a helpless Archer for his first Norwich goal since his debut.
At the death, Archer denied Norwich a fourth with a good low stop from Pukki’s strike and in stoppage time former Newcastle stopper Krul pulled off another decent save from Aiden O’Brien.
