Norwich City 7-0 Huddersfield Town - Teemu Pukki nets hat-trick in Canaries rout

Championship leaders Norwich City moved to within five points of securing an immediate return to the Premier League as they demolished Huddersfield Town in a brilliant display.

Teemu Pukki netted a hat-trick while Emi Buendia, Todd Cantwell, Kieran Dowell and Jordan Hugill also scored as five of the Canaries' seven goals came before half-time.

Huddersfield were blown away as their five-match unbeaten run came to a spectacular end.

Demeaco Duhaney went closest to claiming a consolation with a header against the post while Danny Ward was denied on the rebound by Tim Krul.

Having been frustrated in back-to-back draws against Blackburn and Preston, Norwich returned to winning ways in emphatic style to extend their unbeaten run to 12 games and move 17 points clear of third-placed Brentford.
