Norwich City's Jovon Makama scores a hat-trick as the Canaries secure a 5-1 victory over Walsall in the FA Cup third round.
Makama's impressive display was the highlight of an otherwise dominant performance from Norwich, who were expected to progress to the next round without any issues. The young forward netted his third goal of the match in the 88th minute, as the home side cruised past a Walsall team that looked thoroughly out of depth.
Norwich's attacking trio of Milot Rashica, Josh Sargeant, and Makama caused problems for the visitors' defense throughout the game, with the latter scoring all five of their goals in total. Rashica opened the scoring in the 16th minute, before Makama levelled the game just after the interval. The Canaries then took control of the match, with Sargeant and Rashica adding to their tally.
The only glimmer of hope for Walsall was when they were awarded a penalty in the 71st minute, but Norwich goalkeeper Dean Geraghty made an impressive save from the spot-kick attempt.
Walsall's woes continued as Makama netted his second and third goals of the match within just two minutes of each other in the 80th and 82nd minutes respectively. The visitors' hopes of a comeback were dashed when Sargeant added to Norwich's tally, making it 5-1 with only five minutes remaining.
The result marked Norwich City's victory in the FA Cup third round, as they secured a spot in the competition's next phase without any major issues.

?? i mean, walsall was just toast 
️
. norwich played like total pros 
and made it look so easy 
. i love milot rashica too, he's always getting those goals 
! dean geraghty is literally a superhero in goal 
... that penalty save was insane 
. anywayz, nice win for norwich 
but that hat-trick from Jovon Makama tho 
dean geraghty made some amazing saves too 
can't even blame the refs for this one, Norwich just dominated the whole game. Geraghty's save from that penalty try was clutch tho! 
, they just kept piling on the goals and Walsall couldn't keep up. That one penalty save by Dean Geraghty was clutch 
! Norwich's attacking trio is just too much for any team to handle 
. Can't wait to see what they do in the next round of the FA Cup 
!
makama's hat-trick was insane tho, that kid's got skills 
and dean geraghty's save from the penalty trypt save of the year 
So, I'm not surprised that Norwich City was able to get past Walsall 5-1, considering how strong their attacking lineup is 
. Jovon Makama's hat-trick was definitely the highlight of the game - he was on fire 
- it could've easily been 6-1 if Walsall had capitalized on that chance. But overall, I think Norwich showed some great team spirit and cohesion, which ultimately led to their comfortable win 
. Can't we just have a decent discussion about sports without all the drama and personal attacks? Like, what's up with people always trying to one-up each other or stir up controversy? It's just a game, guys! 
️. I mean, come on, a penalty attempt that was saved by 10 feet and yet it's still considered a bad call? Unbelievable 
. Can't wait to see how they do in the next round of the FA Cup 
. I love the attacking trio of Rashica, Sargeant and Makama, they're causing problems left and right 
. And Dean Geraghty making that save in the 71st minute, what a legend! 
. walsall looked like they were in way over their heads, poor show 
. norwich's attacking trio was on fire 
.
just watched that Norwich v Walsall match and wow, Makama is somethin else! 5 goals and he's still young... reminds me of when I first started playin' footy 
fingers crossed!
