Norwich City 0-3 Burnley: Leaders show their class as they brush aside Canaries

Leaders Burnley once again showed their title credentials with a ninth successive Championship win as they beat Norwich City 3-0.

Anass Zaroury capitalised on a mistake by Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul to fire an early goal for the Clarets, who were the dominant force in the opening period at Carrow Road.

Substitute Vitinho doubled the visitors' lead with his first touch as he glanced home Johann Berg Gudmundsson's corner seconds after coming on.

Debutant Hjalmar Ekdal got a third from close range soon after as Burnley went one game short of the record of 10 successive wins since the Championship was rebranded in 2004.
