The Canaries entered the game on a three-match losing streak, but they looked anything but short on confidence as they dismantled their hapless visitors.

Josh Sargent got the home side up and running with the opening goal a minute before half-time, having been found just inside the box by Emiliano Marcondes.

Swansea did get level through Liam Cullen in the 62nd minute, but that parity lasted just a minute as Sargent put Norwich back ahead almost immediately.

The hosts then went goal crazy in the final 15 minutes with Lewis Dobbin, Ante Crnac and Marcondes all getting in on the act.

The victory lifts Norwich to ninth in the table, three points behind sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers, while Swansea are 17th.

Elsewhere, Millwall's 1-0 victory away to Luton Town pushed the Hatters deeper into the relegation mire.

Aaron Connolly saw a first-half penalty saved for the visitors, having come off the bench to replace the injured Callum Scanlon, but they weren't to be denied.

Mihailo Ivanovic got the only goal of the game in the second half to give Millwall a victory that takes them to 15th in the table.

China got off to a positive start as they kept the ball under control, and made it difficult for the Koreans to break through.

Stoke City and Oxford United played out a goalless draw at the Bet365 Stadium in a match containing little quality in the final third.

The visitors came closest to breaking the deadlock in the second half, with Ole Romeny hitting the post after picking the pocket of Viktor Johansson, who had tried to shepherd the ball out of play.

The result leaves Oxford 13th in the Championship, nine points above the relegation zone, while it also extends their unbeaten run to eight league matches.
