Norwich City reignited their Championship play-off chase as they thumped Swansea City 5-1 at Carrow Road on Saturday.
The Canaries entered the game on a three-match losing streak, but they looked anything but short on confidence as they dismantled their hapless visitors.
Josh Sargent got the home side up and running with the opening goal a minute before half-time, having been found just inside the box by Emiliano Marcondes.
Swansea did get level through Liam Cullen in the 62nd minute, but that parity lasted just a minute as Sargent put Norwich back ahead almost immediately.
The hosts then went goal crazy in the final 15 minutes with Lewis Dobbin, Ante Crnac and Marcondes all getting in on the act.
The victory lifts Norwich to ninth in the table, three points behind sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers, while Swansea are 17th.

Elsewhere, Millwall’s 1-0 victory away to Luton Town pushed the Hatters deeper into the relegation mire.
Aaron Connolly saw a first-half penalty saved for the visitors, having come off the bench to replace the injured Callum Scanlon, but they weren’t to be denied.
Mihailo Ivanovic got the only goal of the game in the second half to give Millwall a victory that takes them to 15th in the table.
The defeat, meanwhile, leaves Luton second-bottom, two points from safety.
The Hatters have now lost seven of their last eight matches and are winless in their three games since Matt Bloomfield took the reins.
GET IN!
