Norwich City lost 2-1 to Hull City at the MKM stadium, Carlos Estupinan's double leaving them bottom of the Championship table.
The Canaries started brightly in Yorkshire, with Marcelino Nunez and Teemu Pukki missing early chances. Dean Smith's side had further openings through Kieran Dowell and Todd Cantwell, but were left to rue them on the brink of half-time.
Max Aarons' clearance was blasted straight into the gut of teammate Andrew Omobamidele, with Estupinan reacting first to poke beyond Tim Krul and open the scoring.
Norwich dominated possession thereafter but created little by way of real opportunities before the Tigers had their next. Jacob Greaves' effort was saved by Krul but a six-yard-box melee ensued, allowing Estupinan to tap home from close range.
With the game looking to be unsalvageable for the visitors, they were handed a lifeline by new signing Nunez. Josh Sargent was tripped 25 yards out and the Chilean took the resulting free-kick, curling beyond Matt Ingram for 2-1.
Fellow new boy Aaron Ramsey could then have equalised, but managed to blaze over from two yards with an open goal at his mercy.
Shota Arveladze's charges saw out the game, securing a valuable three points and condemning the Norfolk side to a third winless Championship game.
