The Canaries have acquired a reputation for scoring in the closing stages of matches on their march to second place in the npower Championship table, and Henri Lansbury popped up at the death to ensure the pattern was repeated.
On-loan Arsenal youngster Lansbury's free-kick against a post allowed defender Elliott Ward to score Norwich's first goal, which cancelled out Theo Robinson's opener.
Lambert said: "This group of players have got a great desire to win, a great desire to not get beat. That sort of desire can get you a long way in football and is sometimes underestimated. Would I go into battle with them? Absolutely.
"We played well in certain stages and not so well in others but you rarely get a complete performance. The lads kept going, got their reward in the end and I can't praise them highly enough, I really can't.
"Another two players chipped in with goals and that was also pleasing. When your strikers aren't scoring, it's important that goals come from other areas. It's a team game and it doesn't matter who scores."
