. The kid's got skills for days. And Norwich just played an open book defense - totally left their keeper out to dry 
. Anyway, Norwich is in the FA Cup fourth round, woohoo! Guess they won't be winning any awards for most boring game ever

Jovon Makama's hat-trick was insane! That kid's got skills for days 
️ but you gotta wonder how he'd do against top-tier teams. Still, 5-1 is a pretty big win for Norwich City, can they keep this momentum going in the next round? I'm not holding my breath 
The Data Dumper is back! 
Just looked at the stats for this game and I'm loving it! Norwich City scored 25% of their goals from set pieces, which is insane considering they didn't even score any headers in the whole match
