Norwich City's hopes of completing a great escape needs to come from within, Teemu Pukki admitted after their 2-0 victory over Burnley.

The Finnish international netted his 20th Premier League goal for the Canaries, moving him into third in their list of all-time goalscorers in this division ahead of Mark Robins.

Everton's victory over Manchester United on Saturday means that Norwich are seven points behind Frank Lampard's side.

A victory over Burnley has done little to improve their prospects of survival in the view of most supporters and people externally, but Pukki insists that belief of completing a miracle will need to come from within their dressing room.

“We need the belief that we can do it. There are seven games to go.

“We still believe that we can stay in this league. We need to keep showing it in every single game. It’s not an easy job but there is nobody else believing in us other than us,” Pukki said.

“All of us want to play in this league. It is the best league in the world. We have shown, at times, that we can do it. I believe we have the players to stay in this league but we have dropped our level too many times.

“If we can’t do it, then we need to fight until the end.”

Pukki was picked out by Mathias Normann late on before slotting past Nick Pope to ensure Norwich recorded their first home win since January.

The Finnish international has cut a frustrated figure this season and was isolated during City's goalless draw with Brighton last weekend.

Kieran Dowell's inclusion in the starting line-up for only the fifth time this season coupled with Pierre Lees-Melou being handed a greater attacking licence contributed to a more fluid performance at the top end of the pitch.

Pukki admitted post-match that he has been frustrated over a lack of service this season and explained why he felt this season has been tough.

“I had more shots today than I have in the last month,” Pukki joked.

“I think that was the key difference. It was important to have Pierre (Lees-Melou), Milot (Rashica) Kieran (Dowell) and me attacking together.

“There have been games where it has just me and another guy. It’s important to defend as a team but we need to attack as a team as well and create chances otherwise it is easy for other teams to just defend.”
