Norris ended Max Verstappen's perfect record at his home Grand Prix since its reintroduction to the circuit three years ago.
The McLaren driver started on pole but fell behind Verstappen before catching him later in the race, completing an easy overtake, and going on to win by 22 seconds.
That is now five races without a win for Verstappen, and his lead at the top of the drivers' has been cut to 70 points.
But the constructors' is even closer, with McLaren just 30 points behind Red Bull.

But it's all set up for Norris to win again after he took pole ahead of his teammate Oscar Piastri, with Verstappen in seventh.

Dutch Grand Prix: What has been said?
After comfortably winning the Dutch Grand Prix, Norris now believes McLaren have the fastest car.
When asked about it after the race, he said: “Today, this whole weekend, I think we’ve had the best car.
"We know more information than people do on the outside, so we can comment in much more factual ways than people who are just watching on TV and taking their picks and guesses.
“We’ve had, on average, the best car.
"We probably should have won two, three more races as a team, but we didn’t and it’s because we’ve not done a good enough job. I didn’t do a good enough job.”
