Norwich City 3 - 1 Swansea City 15th Oct Highlights 2011
report
Anthony Pilkington scored twice as Norwich continued their impressive start to the season by easing past fellow top-flight newcomers Swansea at Carrow Road.
Pilkington, a £2million summer signing from Huddersfield, opened the scoring after just 50 seconds before Russell Martin doubled the Canaries' lead soon after with a 12-yard header.
Danny Graham drilled home to pull one back for Swansea, but the Welshmen never looked like equalising and Pilkington sealed the win for the home side just after the hour when he swivelled neatly in the box before firing home from close range.
Paul Lambert's side were installed as favourites for the drop after their promotion, but they now sit ninth in the league after picking up 11 points from their opening eight games.
Swansea displayed little of the fight that saw them beat Stoke two weeks ago and are still in search of their first top-flight win in 19 years.
It was clear from the first 10 minutes who was going to win the contest of the two recently-promoted teams.
Just four hours after Wales exited the rugby World Cup, Swansea were looking to restore a bit of happiness to their nation, but they made the worst possible start and went behind after just 50 seconds.
Canaries striker Steve Morison knocked down Elliott Bennett's cross at the back post to find Pilkington, who fired past Michel Vorm from close range with a crisp half-volley.
Morison's hulking figure and sheer pace caused Swansea problems all afternoon and Garry Monk was perhaps fortunate to receive just a booking when he pulled back the Wales striker as he broke through the away defence.
Swansea could not get into the game and they found themselves 2-0 down in the ninth minute when Martin headed home unmarked from 12 yards after getting on the end of David Fox's pinpoint cross.
The two-goal cushion lasted less than two minutes, however, as Swansea raced up the other end to pull one back with their first real chance of the game.
Scott Sinclair skillfully skipped between Bennett and Fox and, despite falling to the ground, stuck a leg out to hook the ball across the box to Graham, who powered home from six yards for his second in two games.
Swansea started to play more confidently and Angel Rangel came close to equalising with a powerful 30-yard shot that flew just over.
