    That's it for our coverage of today's match at Carrow Road.

    It was a summer afternoon to remember for Norwich boss David Wagner and Canaries supporters.

    Millwall manager Gary Rowett and Lions fans will have plenty to ponder on their trip back to London.

    But they've never enjoyed trips to Norfolk, with their last win at Norwich coming back in 1968.

    The Championship returns on Friday when Hull City take on Bristol City. See you then.

    FT: Norwich 3-1 Millwall

    After winning at Middlesbrough on the opening day, it's now three straight defeats for Millwall in the league and cup.

    The Lions were beaten by a late Bristol City winner last weekend but were thoroughly outclassed this afternoon.

    There were quite a few grumbles directed towards manager Gary Rowett too.

    Next up for the south-east Londoners is the visit of Rowett's former club Stoke City next Saturday.

    Norwich were totally dominant, thoroughly deserved the three points.

    Norwich see it out to extend their unbeaten start to the season.

    Two wins and a draw have the Canaries up to third in the Championship table.

    David Wagner's side put in a dominant display and led at the break through Jonathan Rowe.

    Josh Sargent and Ashley Barnes then extended the lead before Aidomo Emakhu pulled one back in stoppage time.

    Norwich 3-1 Millwall

    Another Millwall corner goes deep to the back post.

    It's headed back across goal by Shaun Hutchinson and Andrew Omobamidele blocks with a header up into the Norfolk sky before Angus Gunn comes and claims.

    It's been Millwall's best spell of the game. Shame they were 3-0 down when it started.

    So disappointing from Norwich's point of view.

    It just takes the gloss of it a little bit

    Norwich 3-1 Millwall

    Millwall still have a few minutes left to make things uncomfortable for the hosts.

    One goal in the next couple of minutes will set a few pulses racing at Carrow Road.

    The Lions win a corner but give away a free-kick as the ball swings into the Canaries box.

    Aidomo Emakhu

    Or is there going to be a late twist in the tale?

    Millwall pump the ball forward and it's picked up by Aidomo Emakhu.

    The young winger shows good strength and control before guiding a low shot into the bottom right-hand corner from the edge of the box.

    Norwich keeper Angus Gunn is furious at his defenders after losing his clean sheet.

    The result itself is beyond doubt.

    Wes Harding is on for the final throws, with Millwall right-back Danny McNamara trudging off.

    Andrew Omobamidele comes on for Ben Gibson Norwich centre-back picked up a knock.

    Norwich 3-0 Millwall

    The crowd at Norwich have been serenading Gary Rowett about the poor quality of his side's football.

    I can't repeat exactly what they're saying, but I'm sure you get the gist.

    Meanwhile, there are a few chants of 'We want Rowett out' from the travelling fans.

    As things stand Millwall are on for a third successive defeat - by an aggregate scoreline of 8-0.

    Norwich 3-0 Millwall

    Norwich's three goals this afternoon have made them the top scorers in the Championship after three games.

    The Canaries' nine goals have come from six different scorers.

    Their Suffolk rivals Ipswich Town may be top of the league, but Norwich are heading up to third as things stand.

    Millwall have been brighter in the past few minutes, but just cannot create a decent opening.

    The ball won't stick in the final third and they have barely threatened since the first whistle.

    The Lions look a shadow of the side which challenged for the play-offs last season.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 80 mins

    Norwich 3-0 Millwall

    Christian Fassnacht and Josh Sargent head off for Norwich.

    Both players have put in a good shift today.

    Adam Isah and Sam McCallum enter the fray.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 77 mins

    Norwich 3-0 Millwall

    More changes for the Lions.

    Tom Bradshaw and George Evans come on for Kevin Nisbet and Billy Mitchell.

    Bradshaw was Millwall's top scorer last season with 17 goals but has started the season on the bench following Nisbet's arrival from Hibernian.

    Norwich 3-0 Millwall

    Gabriel Sara has been a cut above for Norwich today.

    The Brazilian midfielder has been at the heart of everything the Canaries have created.

    He and Kenny McClean have been bossing the midfield.

    But then, there have been fine performances across the side, with both full-backs and Jonathan Rowe impressing too. And both strikers have got on the scoresheet.
