Norwich City staged a dramatic second-half recovery to win at Cardiff City.
Cardiff were cruising at half-time after Joe Ralls, with a low, left-foot shot, and Aron Gunnarsson, cutting in from the left, had given them the lead.
Martin Olsson started the comeback when the ball fell kindly for him after a challenge on Lewis Grabban.
Wes Hoolahan equalised from a rebound, Michael Turner turned in from Alex Tettey to put Norwich ahead and Cameron Jerome scored a late breakaway.
The Canaries, unbeaten since their opening day defeat at Wolves, were awful during the first half and deservedly trailed.
Inside a minute Kenwyne Jones had seen his goalwards glancing header hacked clear, but soon after Ralls seized on Turner's loose pass and drove forward before sending a left-footed drive into the bottom corner.
Norwich fell further behind when Jones played in Anthony Pilkington down the right and his cross was expertly tucked home by Gunnarsson.
Despite great expectations and plenty of money spent to strengthen the squad, Cardiff had stuttered through the start of the Championship season.
Jerome at home against Cardiff
Cameron Jerome has now scored three league goals in the past two seasons, with two of them coming against former club Cardiff
But a two-goal lead at half-time against Norwich, like their hosts tipped for an immediate return to the Premier League, had the fans happy and suggested Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team were about to hit their stride.
Instead the Bluebirds fell flat on their face as Norwich picked them apart after the break, not helped by the injury withdrawal of Fabio at left-back.
Firstly Hoolahan was given far too much room to get a ball into Grabban and although Sean Morrison got in a foot, the ball sat up for Olsson to slot home from close range.
Norwich soon levelled, as Nathan Redmond evaded Ralls and Declan John to deliver a pinpoint cross for Jerome.
The former Cardiff striker's header was parried by Marshall, but the Scotland goalkeeper could do nothing as Hoolahan dispatched the follow-up.
The Canaries continued to surge forwards and Russell Martin's mishit shot was turned in by Turner as Marshall appealed in vain for offside.
Despite the capitulation, Cardiff did respond and Peter Whittingham twice worked John Ruddy in the Norwich goal.
But Jerome put the result beyond doubt three minutes from time, splintering the hosts' offside trap to round Marshall and send Norwich into second in the table.

Vital Report: Cardiff 2 Norwich 4
At half time on Saturday Cardiff were well set for another Championship victory at the Cardiff City Stadium, but a second half fightback from Norwich won them the points.
2-0 up at half time two quick second half goals got Norwich back into the game with them going on to stun us with a 4-2 win.
With less than a minute played Kenwyne Jones almost put us ahead but his head was scrambled away but we didn't have to wait too long for the opening goal with Joe Ralls capitalising on Michael Turner's mistake to drive into the corner.
Despite the control that we had David Marshall did well to keep out Kyle Lafferty's effort to keep us ahead with Anthony Pilkington playing a part in our second goal when he crossed to Aron Gunnarsson.
Had John Ruddy not saved well to deny Federico Macheda's volley before the break, as we also took our foot off the gas in the closing minutes of the first half, we probably would have been well and truly out of sight.
Less than 10 minutes into the second half Norwich were back in the game, within 15 minutes of the restart they were level.
Sean Morrison prevented Lewis Grabban to give himself a chance but with the ball falling to Martin Olsson he finished passed Marshall who then kept out former Bluebird Cameron Jerome's header but Wes Hoolahan was on hand to convert the follow up.
Clearly we were stunned, but not as much as we were when Norwich took the lead.
Russell Martin didn't catch his effort cleanly but this miss hit worked in Turner's favour as the defender turned the ball home as appeals for offside were waved away. Turner had further fortune when he could have easily been sent off for bringing down Nicky Maynard but got only a yellow.
Peter Whittingham twice threatened an equaliser but Ruddy twice denied him.
Norwich's win was confirmed with three minutes to play when Jerome sprung the offside trap, going around Marshall and rolling the ball home.
