    Norwich 7-0 Huddersfield

    There are still 10 minutes left at Carrow Road.

    Norwich have brought on players who are keen to make a point and stake their own claims for a more regular starting place.

    Huddersfield will just want to get into the warm and go home.

    One goalscoring striker comes off, another comes on and scores straight away.

    Norwich full-back Max Aarons is like a left-footed Trent Alexander-Arnold - he's so far advanced and rolls a low ball across goal for substitute Jordan Hugill to tap home.

    The Canaries are in seventh heaven.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:21 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 6-0 Huddersfield

    The dream duo are done for the night.

    Norwich's hat-trick hero Teemu Pukki and Emi Buendia come off to what should be a standing ovation, with Jordan Hugill and Przemyslaw Placheta coming off the bench.

    Norwich 6-0 Huddersfield

    The Canaries are popping the ball about, still trying to probe but also conserving energy for Saturday's trip to Wayne Rooney's Derby.

    Todd Cantwell dribbles around a defender like he's not there but is thwarted by Joel Pereira.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 6-0 Huddersfield

    Norwich have gone a bit sloppy, which is understandable in the circumstances.

    Then Huddersfield's Demeaco Duhaney heads a corner against the post, with Danny Ward's rebound kept out by Tim Krul.

  6. Postpublished at 21:14 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 6-0 Huddersfield

    Visiting keeper Joel Pereira tries to play out from the back but passes straight to Todd Cantwell, who fires a strike well off-target.

    Norwich make their first changes, with Jacob Sorensen and Marco Stiepermann on in place of Kenny McLean and Kieran Dowell.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 6-0 Huddersfield

    Final changes for Huddersfield.

    Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Jaden Brown are on for Naby Sarr and Lewis O'Brien.

    They still have 25 minutes to play out.

  8. Postpublished at 21:09 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 6-0 Huddersfield

    I'm still not quite over the first half, to be honest.

    If Norwich play that like even 20% of the time in the Premier League next season, they stand a very good chance of staying up.

    This second half has understandably been played with less intensity, but you wouldn't be surprised if they grab a couple more goals.

    Stavros Makro: The best performance ever is the one we are witnessing right now, because the football that Norwich is playing is absolutely first class(and they seem to play in third gear only).

    Canary Mark: Us @NCFC, external fans are enjoying it. Be interesting to see when Farke brings on subs - keeping our stars ready for the next game. As for next season? Greatly depends on us keeping Aarons, Buendia and Skipp

    Antony Short: Norwich, what a performance, some wonderful football bring played.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 6-0 Huddersfieldpublished at 21:04 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Teemu Pukki pen (61 mins)

    That's a hat-trick for Teemu Pukki.

    Huddersfield keeper Joel Pereira guesses the right way but Pukki's spot-kick is right in the corner, beyond his grasp.

    That's 25 goals for the Finland striker this season.

  11. PENALTY TO NORWICHpublished at 21:03 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 5-0 Huddersfield

    Just when we thought Norwich were beginning to slow down, they win a penalty...

    Holding midfielder Oliver Skipp fancies an adventure - goes on a lung-busting run and is brought down.

    It looks soft but Isaac Mbenza is booked for it.

  12. Postpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 5-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield sub Sorba Thomas works half a yard of space in the box and his low drilled shot is tipped wide by Tim Krul.

    Up until now the Norwich keeper has been a virtual spectator.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 5-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield have made a further two changes in their damage limitation attempts.

    Sorba Thomas and Aaron Rowe are on for Jonathan Hogg and Duane Holmes.

    The second half has started a bit more slowly, but then we expected that would be the case!

  14. Postpublished at 20:59 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 5-0 Huddersfield

    The home side are going to be a staggering 17 points ahead of third-placed Brentford after this.

    Daniel Farke's side will only need five points from their final six games to seal promotion.

  15. Postpublished at 20:57 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 5-0 Huddersfield

    Norwich full-back Max Aarons skips past two Huddersfield players, who bump into each other and land on the floor.

    It's like something out of a comic sketch, but sums up the home side's superiority.

    Brentford 0-0 Birmingham

    Brentford can't break Birmingham down and it's a stalemate.

    It leaves the Bees nine points behind second-placed Watford, with a game in hand.

    Lee Bowyer's Blues, meanwhile, are edging towards survival.

    Ashley Clarke: Watford scoring 7 goals in one half against Blackpool in 2015. Easily the best 45 mins performance the championship has ever seen.

    John Gill: Wigan 7 v Hull 0 at half time last April

    Paul Gareth Jones: Barnsley 6 Huddersfield 0 in 1998. Topical. And we missed a pen. Craig Hignett, bruce dyer and ashley ward in full flow. Brutal.

    Stephen Noakes: Reading 5-0 Derby, half-time it was 0-0, result secured the title for Reading in 05/06

    There's been a few shouts for those Watford and Wigan displays. That Wigan one, in particular, was truly bonkers given their situation at the time.

    Some of the football Norwich have played tonight, mind you... It's been something else.

  18. INJURY TIMEpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Brentford 0-0 Birmingham

    Four minutes of stoppage time have been added in this rather forgetful match.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 5-0 Huddersfield

    The Terriers have made one half-time change - Scott High on for veteran centre-back Richard Stearman, who had a tough time in that first 45 minutes.

  20. Second halfpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Norwich 5-0 Huddersfield

    Yes, there's still another half to play.

    Will Norwich take mercy on Huddersfield or continue to put them to the sword?

    Either way we can safely say the Canaries are going eight points clear at the top of the Championship, and closing on a return to the top-flight.
