Norwich City's Championship campaign ended with a 1-0 defeat to relegated Birmingham, but it proved enough to secure their top six place.
The Canaries have finished sixth in the Championship table, setting up a play-off semi final against Daniel Farke's Leeds United - with the home leg taking place at Carrow Road next Sunday.
This was a flat performance from David Wagner's side, who were limited to very few chances throughout the contest.
Seung-Ho Paik's winner in the 55th minute was enough to decide the contest, but with Plymouth recording victory against Hull, Sheffield Wednesday winners at Sunderland and Blackburn taking three points at champions Leicester, Gary Rowett's men are relegated to League One.
The season goes on for David Wagner's men, who head into the play-offs having won just one of their last five matches.
