Norwich City's FA Cup campaign took a thrilling turn as they cruised to a 5-1 thrashing of mid-table side Walsall in the third-round tie. The Canaries' young guns, particularly Jovon Makama, proved to be too hot to handle for the visitors.
Makama, just 21 years old, stole the show with an impressive hat-trick that left the Walsall defense reeling. His three goals arrived at a pivotal moment in the match, giving Norwich a commanding lead and ultimately proving decisive in their victory.
While the result was far from unexpected given the significant difference in quality between the two teams, the manner of Norwich's win suggested a level of maturity beyond what might have been expected from such a young squad. The Canaries' frontmen showcased impressive finishing skills, with Makama's goals arriving in quick succession to send the home crowd into raptures.
Walsall, on the other hand, struggled to find their footing against an opponent who seemed determined to put them out of their misery. Their struggles were compounded by a series of avoidable mistakes, which allowed Norwich to build upon their early lead with ease.
For those unable to witness the match in its entirety due to geographical constraints, there's little doubt that Makama's performance will be remembered as one of the highlights of this FA Cup campaign so far. His display showcased his potential as a key player for the Canaries, and will no doubt attract attention from scouts and coaches alike.
As Norwich continues on their journey through the FA Cup, it remains to be seen how far they'll progress – but with players like Makama leading the charge, there's certainly reason to be optimistic about the team's prospects.

. And that young lad Jovon Makama is just another flashy player who'll probably leave them within a year or two to go back to the Championship 
. The fact they won so easily just means there's no real challenge for them in the FA Cup... it's all gonna be an easy ride to the final 
.
They needed a big result and that's exactly what they got. Walsall just didn't show up and it was easy pickings for the Canaries. But on the other hand, Jovon Makama's performance was so good, but at the same time, he's only 21 and has already done this? It's a bit too early to say if he's going to be that reliable in big games. I mean, he scored three goals, but did they come from a set piece or out of nothing? Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
.

! I mean, 5-1 at home and he scores a hat-trick? That's some serious skillz right there 
. And yeah, it was a bit of an expected win for Norwich, but the way they dominated Walsall was pretty impressive. It showed that the young squad is really coming into their own. Makama's performance was insane, I'm still trying to process how he scored three goals in such a short span
