The Canaries conceded after 39 seconds to Kenedy's fastest goal of the Premier League season so far and then Costa's strike before half-time should have been ruled out for offside.
But assistant referee Michael McDonough failed to flag and referee Lee Mason awarded the goal, despite protests as Norwich lost for the seventh time in eight Premier League games to fall into the relegation zone.

"You would expect the officials to get it right. It's disappointing they don't get it right. They'll be disappointed they didn't get it right. But the linesman's called it how he saw it.
"It's not as if he's two or three yards offside. He's probably a yard, half a yard. You'd like to think he would've got that one correct, but when you're down at that bottom end those wee bits of fortune that you look for just don't come your way."
Neil felt wronged and made his point to the officials clearly at half-time.
He said: "I made him aware at half-time that he got it wrong and he was offside. The guy's made an honest call and got it wrong. It happens. I'm not going to stand here and lambast him for that.

Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink was yet to see a replay of the Costa goal, but was frustrated the Blues had not scored a second prior to then.
"I haven't seen it yet, but if so I can understand if people are frustrated in the other dressing room," he said.
"We had a splendid start from Kenedy, a beautiful goal. After that we had options for a second.
"We should've killed it off already. I'm satisfied about the result, but I like to always be a bit more critical. We were a bit sloppy in finishing off."
Chelsea climbed to eighth, five points behind fifth-placed Manchester United and eight adrift of Manchester City in fourth.
"Now with the ambition of Chelsea we must set a new target and see what we can do in the direction of Europe," Hiddink added.

Kenedy was withdrawn with a groin injury after his role in Chelsea's win, while Eden Hazard appeared to be feeling the effects of 90 minutes.

Norwich ensured Chelsea never truly had a grip on proceedings and had the better of the second half. Cameron Jerome hit the bar early in the second half and Nathan Redmond pulled a goal back 22 minutes from time, but it was too little, too late.

"It's probably been the story of our last few games. We had better opportunities than Leicester, lost the game. West Ham we were 2-0 up, looking comfortable and we managed to draw. Liverpool we were 3-1 up and managed to lose the game.
"I don't think when that's a continuous thing that keeps happening, I don't think it boils down to just luck. Quality shows and at times we missed opportunities we should've taken."
Midfielder Alex Tettey went off in the first half for a precautionary X-ray on a leg injury and Gary O'Neil required stitches to a two-inch gash on his head following a clash with Robbie Brady, who lost two teeth and chipped another.
