Burnley marched on at the top of the Championship as they swept aside Norwich 3-0 at Carrow Road. Vincent Kompany’s side produced another impressive display to make it nine league wins on the trot and move, temporarily at least, 20 points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough.

Anass Zaroury took advantage of a horrible error from Tim Krul, the Norwich goalkeeper, to open the scoring in the eighth minute and two goals from corners early in the second half completed the scoring. The first was turned in by Vitinho, on as a substitute, with his very first touch, while Hjalmar Ekdal added the other.
