Brighton got back to winning ways in emphatic fashion as they beat Norwich 4-0 to cruise into the fourth round of the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

The Seagulls had failed to win any of their previous eight games, with six ending in draws, but it was a different story at Carrow Road as they hit the goal trail against their Championship hosts.<\/p>\n

Two goals towards the end of the first half from Georginio Rutter set the Premier League outfit on their way to a comfortable victory before Julio Enciso and substitute Solly March struck after the break to emphasise the gulf between the two sides<\/p>\n

Norwich made a decent start and almost went ahead on 15 minutes when Amankwah Forson, the goalscoring hero of the previous week’s dramatic win over Coventry, struck an upright from 25 yards.<\/p>\n

But the Premier League visitors gradually asserted control and Rutter had two goal-bound efforts blocked before finally giving his side the lead eight minutes before the break.<\/p>\n

With the striker lurking at the back post, his fellow Dutchman Joel Veltman delivered an inch-perfect cross from the right that was headed powerfully past George Long from close range.<\/p>\n

Rutter doubled his and Brighton’s tally in the final minute of the opening period, with a little bit of help from home defender Callum Doyle.<\/p>\n

Yankuba Minteh set up the chance with a swift break down the centre and an accurate pass and although Rutter’s shot appeared to be on target, it needed a big deflection off Doyle to beat the ‘keeper.<\/p>\n

Brighton scored the game’s crucial third goal just before the hour mark to take complete control.<\/p>\n

A slip by half-time substitute Brad Hills allowed Enciso to nick possession and burst into the area before beating Long from a tight angle, with the ball going in off the far post.<\/p>\n

March then produced a moment of magic to make it 4-0 on 74 minutes, curling the ball home in spectacular style after being picked out on the right by fellow substitute Brajan Gruda.<\/p>\n

Replays suggested March might have netted from an offside position but with no VAR in operation the goal stood.<\/p>\n

With the game long since lost, the Canaries got key striker Josh Sargent back on the pitch in the closing stages after a long injury absence – but that was their only bright spot of a grim afternoon.<\/p>\n
