Norwich put their miserable run of form in the SkyBet Championship behind them in emphatic fashion by thrashing Brentford at Carrow Road.
Manager Alex Neil had gone into the game under some pressure after seeing his side suffer five consecutive league defeats to slip out of the top six.
But the Canaries got their faltering promotion challenge back on track against a poor Bees side, with an early own goal setting them on way before Graham Dorrans, Robbie Brady, Nelson Oliveira and Alex Pritchard all got in on the act.

It was Norwich's biggest win of the season - while for Brentford it was a fourth straight defeat after what had been an encouraging start to the campaign.
