Norwich City squandered a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 to Leeds United on Daniel Farke's Carrow Road return.
Goals from Shane Duffy and Gabriel Sara had put the Canaries in the driving seat, but a second-half comeback from the Whites left them reeling in a soured Norfolk atmosphere.
One of Farke's familiar weaknesses was exposed in the fourth minute, Duffy heading Sara's corner beyond Illan Meslier to open the scoring.
Summer signing Glen Kamara should have levelled when his one-two with Georginio Rutter found him in space, but he dragged wide as Joel Piroe did through on goal a minute later.
Rutter was next to miss a good opportunity when he was found in space in the box, before Duffy thought he'd doubled the Canaries' lead.
The Irishman headed past Meslier for a second time, but referee John Busby ruled it out for a foul elsewhere. Sara nearly did make it 2-0 when he grazed the post from the edge of the box, before Jack Stacey's last-ditch challenge denied Crysensio Summerville from close range.
Sara eventually did make it two for Norwich with a wonderful goal, twisting and turning past five Leeds defenders before smashing home.
The Whites started the second half poorly, but the man who'd put them behind gave them a lifeline. He was the man in the way when George Long parried Daniel James' cross, halving the deficit with his midriff.
Ethan Ampadu almost brought things level when his low drive was deflected just wide, before Summerville did so himself from the resulting corner. James took it short and Gnonto found Summerville, whose curling strike hit the post before rolling in.
In the 85th minute things got worse, Leeds countering and finding Summerville in space. The result was inevitable, as the winger smashed into the far corner.
City face Middlesbrough next as they look to arrest the run of poor form that currently sees them 11th in the Championship.
