Carl Ikeme added insult to injury for Wolves, with his sending off the key moment possibly contributing to the collapse.
Robbie Brady (75) gave Norwich the lead from the penalty spot, with Jonny Howson completing the win for the Canaries (90+1).
Consistency Needed
Lambert will be wanting more consistency from his side, with the defeat against Norwich coming after wins against Villa and Stoke.
Their win against Stoke was a magnificent effort, they comfortably beat the Premier League side in their own ground.

Dele Alli was the hero once again with his seventh goal in five matches (58), and Heung-Min Son (77) ensured Spurs secured a draw.
Guardiola will be scratching his head with that result, given how dominant his City side were and it raises more questions about Claudio Bravo.
