The hosts were in control of the match right from the start and put the Baggies defence under pressure on a number of occasions in the opening minutes.

Anthony Pilkington came close for the Canaries in the 24th minute when he saw his effort from close range saved by Ben Foster, who denied Wes Hoolahan a minute later.

However, there was no stopping Robert Snodgrass, who slotted home from just yards out after Foster had kept out Hoolahan's initial shot.

It was Snodgrass's seventh goal of the season and was enough for Norwich to head into half time 1-0 up against West Brom.

Grant Holt doubled the hosts' advantage in the 62nd minute when he took advantage of Foster's mishit and made no mistake in finding the target from just yards out.

Three minutes later it became 3-0 to Norwich as Gareth McAuley headed into his own goal under pressure from Holt.

Jonny Howson added the cherry on the cake in the final minute of normal time when he curled home after latching on to Luciano Becchio's pass.
