Anis Ben Slimane teed up the crucial second in the 49th minute and later scored as Norwich City beat West Bromwich Albion 5-0. His two interventions swung the game after the interval.

After the restart, he slipped the pass that released Ali Ahmed to extend the lead (49.). Introduced at half time, he immediately raised the visitors' tempo and purpose in the final third.

He then killed the contest with a neat finish for the third (69.). Moments later, his positioning continued to drag West Bromwich Albion's back line out of shape.

Slimane ended with two shots on target, five touches in the box and four possession regains, on top of one goal and one assist. That blend of end product and ball winning underlined why the Canaries controlled the key phases.

Because the Canaries could connect midfield to attack through his runs and quick layoffs, West Bromwich Albion never settled and space kept opening between lines.

The Canaries rise from 22nd to 20th in the Championship and host Coventry City next. West Bromwich Albion visit Derby next.
