Goals from Josh Windass and Dominic Iorfa did the business for the home side, who registered a clean sheet that for the most part was never truly in much danger. Fine performances all over the pitch earned the win, which allowed the visitors much of the possession but saw them come up lame.
The performance - and result - wheels them down the road to Bramall Lane on Sunday, with manager Danny Röhl afforded the luxury of spinning his bench over second half.
Here are our ratings from a jump back to the good stuff at Hillsborough.
13. Djeidi Gassama - 7
On with 25 minutes or so to run. And that he did, harrying the Norwich defence and providing a nice couple of breaks himself. | UGC
14. Callum Paterson - 7
The Earl of 'Housery was brought on with a game to see out with 25 minutes left. Got at it, snapping at heels with the frenzy of a puppy at the butchers. Has his attempted overhead found its way into the Kop net late on they'd have called the season off there and then. | UGC
15. Michael Smith - N/A
On with 14 minutes left. Did what he does in closing games out. | UGC
