Player Ratings: Brighton 5-0 Norwich

Norwich went down 5-0 against Brighton and Hove Albion, the biggest margin of defeat under Alex Neil.

The rout began after only eight minutes, when Michael McGovern was tackled in his own penalty area and Glenn Murray got the first of his three goals, sliding the ball into an empty net.

The game remained at 1-0 until the 60th minute, when Murray scored again after Timm Klose missed a header allowing him to nod the ball into the net.

Lewis Dunk added the third from a corner before Glenn Murray completed his hat-trick on 73 minutes after a poor clearance from McGovern gifted him the ball, and he slotted home to claim the match ball.

Norwich capitulation was completed when Timm Klose attempted to Cruyff turn a midfielder, fell over and gave the ball away. Brighton threaded the ball to Knockaert, who chipped McGovern.
