Norwich City launched their competitive season in style with a commanding 4-1 victory over MK Dons in the Carabao Cup. The Canaries set the pace early, scoring just 40 seconds into the match when Mo Toure found the net after being played through by Kenny McLean.

Dominant First Half

Norwich continued to showcase their attacking prowess, doubling their lead within seven minutes. Toure turned provider, assisting Anis Ben Slimane, who skillfully maneuvered past a defender before slotting the ball past MK Dons goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray. The home side maintained their dominance and added a third goal just before halftime. Andre Brooks connected with a cutback, but his shot deflected off teammate Ben Chrisene, looping into the top corner.

Second Half Drama

The second half featured a flurry of action, beginning with MK Dons missing a penalty after Callum Paterson was fouled in the box. Vladan Kovacevic made a crucial save, denying Nathaniel Mendez-Laing from the spot. However, from the ensuing corner, Ryan Wintle scored to reduce the deficit. Norwich quickly responded, restoring their three-goal cushion just three minutes later. Brooks capitalized on a defensive error, running through to score on his debut following an £8 million transfer from Sheffield United.

With this emphatic win, Norwich City will look to carry their momentum into their Championship opener against West Brom at Carrow Road next Saturday.
