Maarten Stekelenburg: Smart reaction stop to deny Redmond early on and easily saved a tame Elmander effort. Had little else to do all evening. 6/10. Sascha Riether: Norwich wingers swapping caused him problems early on, but grew in stature and was involved in the build-up to Bent's goal. Later bent a shot wide after coming inside and assisted the third goal for Sidwell when he stood a cross up to the back post. Encouraging. 6.5/10. Brede Hangeland: First appearance for three months after a troublesome back problem. Fulham captain was very nervy early on, but recovered. Blocked from van Wolfswinkel when he came on. 6/10. Dan Burn: Blocked a close range van Wolfswinkel effort at 3-0. This tall, rangy player may be the answer to Meulensteen's defensive problems, but needs an experienced head alongside him. 6.5/10. Kieran Richardson: Supplemented the odd attack up from left back. Had more joy keeping Redmond quiet than Snodgrass. 5.5/10. Giorgos Karagounis: Made a key clearance when Elmander got in behind. Influential in build-up to Dejagah's goal. Booked for foul on Johnson. Best performance the Greek has put in for awhile. 6.5/10. Steve Sidwell: Got a 20-yard effort on target, but straight at Bunn. Headed in a third goal midway through the second half. Subbed. 6/10. Ashkan Dejagah: Bright on the right wing and interchanging most of the game. Tapped in a second goal when Norwich caught Fulham on the counter. Goal made by Karagounis and Kacaniklic. 6.5/10. Pajtim Kasami: Our man of the match. Attacking midfielder popped up all over and wide on the right assisted Bent's goal. Rising Swiss star gave some good holdup play in the build-up to the third goal. Honour could've easily gone to Karagounis or Dejagah. 7/10. Alex Kacaniklic: Assisted Dejagah's goal when he came over to the right and squared to the Iran international. Had a later shot straight Subbed. 6/10. Darren Bent: A poacher's finish to open the scoring. Occupied the centre backs throughout. Subbed. 6/10. Subs: Moussa Dembele: Youngster given ten minutes to show what he can do. Rating N/A. Lasse Vigen Christensen: Another kid given a short cameo. Rating N/A. Muamer Tankovic: Meulensteen threw on a third academy graduate for the dying embers. Rating N/A. Click next for Norwich player ratings.
