NORWICH, England (Reuters) -Norwich manager Dean Smith got his reign off to a perfect start as his new side beat Southampton 2-1 thanks to a glancing Grant Hanley header in their Premier League clash on Saturday to climb off the bottom of the table.

Sacked by Aston Villa after they lost 1-0 to Saints on Nov. 5 with Che Adams getting the goal, Smith only took over at Norwich on Monday and must have feared the worst when Adams scored against his new charges after four minutes.
