Our man of the match: Swansea (A)

Norwich City kept their place at the top of the Championship with an emphatic 4-1 win over Swansea on Saturday.

The Canaries found themselves 3-0 up before the 40th minute and went into half-time 3-1 up.

Despite some early pressure from Swansea in the second-half, Teemu Pukki scored to make it four and secure the three points.

An own goal from Van Der Hoorn gave Norwich the lead, with Emi Buendia and Marco Stiepermann also adding to Pukki’s goal.

Picking a man of the match has been a tough task, with so many impressive performances across the pitch.

Max Aarons, Moritz Leitner, Marco Stiepermann, Teemu Pukki and Onel Hernandez were in with a shout.

But our man of the match is… Emi Buendia!

The Argentine played his part in all four goals, playing the ball to Stiepermann for the first, scoring the second, winning the flick on for the third and playing a cross-field ball to Hernandez for the fourt.

Buendia was all over the pitch winning the ball back and looking to start attacks with intelligent through balls.
