Mohamed Toure delivered a stunning hat-trick as Norwich rallied from an early deficit to defeat Roy Hodgson's Bristol City 4-2 at Ashton Gate. The Canaries erased Sam Morsy's second-minute opener with three second-half goals that secured all three points in a mid-table Championship battle.

Toure equalized on 51 minutes before completing his treble with goals in the 70th and 75th minutes. Jose Cordoba added a fourth before substitute Sam Bell's late consolation gave home supporters something to cheer in Hodgson's first defeat in four games as interim Bristol City manager.

The result lifts Norwich further away from the relegation zone while Hodgson's start to his temporary role suffers a setback. Bristol City, who led for much of the contest, will regret missed opportunities including Scott Twine's blocked effort when he appeared certain to score.
