Victory at Wrexham showed Norwich's desire to compete with the best in the Championship, according to head coach Philippe Clement.
The Canaries came out on top 2-1 in north Wales despite Josh Sargent being left behind for disciplinary reasons.
"A lot of respect to Wrexham who are playing a really good season, they won their last five games and beat a Premier League team (Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup), so it's a really hard place to come," said Clement.
"But we came with confidence, belief and the right energy. This is the confirmation of the training week that I saw.
