Norwich City Stun Walsall 5-1 in Thrilling FA Cup Win

Twenty-one-year-old Jovon Makama put on a hat-trick show as Norwich City thrashed Walsall 5-1 in the third round of the FA Cup. The young striker's impressive display sent shockwaves through the footballing world, leaving many to wonder if he is a talent to watch out for.

Makama's impressive strike was just one part of an overall dominant performance from Norwich City, who were clinical and ruthless in front of goal. The visitors took control early on, with Makama opening his account in the 5th minute. Walsall struggled to cope with the pace and skill of their opponents, and it wasn't long before Makama added a second. He completed his hat-trick just before half-time.

Norwich City were relentless, however, and continued to press for more goals after the break. They got their reward in the 67th minute when substitute Patrick Bamford pounced on a loose ball and slotted it past the Walsall goalkeeper. A second strike from Makama sealed the win for Norwich City just before full-time.

Walsall's poor defending was exposed throughout, and they found themselves 4-1 down at one point. Their only consolation came when substitute Matt Clarke scored a late consolation goal. However, it was too little, too late, as Norwich City celebrated a comprehensive FA Cup victory.

The win has sent Norwich City into the fifth round of the competition, where they will face off against Crystal Palace in a highly anticipated matchup. With players like Makama leading the charge, the Canaries are looking more confident than ever and could be a dark horse for the title.

man this makama kid is a beast he's only 21 but already putting on hat-tricks and causing chaos in the fa cup what's next? does he have a future at norwich city or will he get poached by a bigger club? either way, it's exciting to watch him play. Norwich city's form has been inconsistent this season but with players like makama on board, they've got a real chance of causing some upset in the competition

just wondering if this is what FA Cup is all about... 5-1 win is insane, can't believe those young guns took down Walsall like that Jovon Makama's hat-trick is gonna get him some serious attention, I'm watching his highlights over and over Norwich City's squad depth is looking solid, hope they keep racking up these big wins

 

[Silly Sloth]

that kid Makama is on fire , i'm talking hat-trick alert ! norwich city played some crazy football out there , walsall just couldn't keep up pace with them . patrick bamford's goal was the icing on the cake , 5-1 is a huge result for them

I'm low-key disappointed about this result . I know it sounds crazy, but I think Walsall was due for an upset . Their defense just looked too vulnerable to Norwich City's attack . Makama is definitely talented, but can he keep this up all season? I'm expecting a big letdown from him soon . And what's with the hype around Crystal Palace now? They're not even a top 6 team in the Premier League . Norwich City might have gotten lucky against Walsall, but I think this FA Cup run will come to an end sooner rather than later .

 

[Spotless Salam]

Ugh I'm so done with these forum threads . I mean can we talk about how ridiculous it is that Jovon Makama's hat-trick was like the top headline? Like what even makes this kid special? 21 years old and already scoring a ton of goals? Give me a break .

And don't even get me started on how predictable the game was. Walsall gets creamed and everyone is just raving about Makama's skills? How about some depth analysis or insight into their team strategy? I mean come on, can we at least try to be more nuanced in our commentary?

And have you seen the comments section on these forum threads? It's like a bunch of mindless fans screaming "GO MAKAMA GO!" without even knowing what it means for the game as a whole. Get some real discussion going people!

 

[Calm]

idk why people still watch FA Cup, its just so predictable but seriously, Norwich City is on fire ! 5-1 win against Walsall? that's crazy! Makama's hat-trick was insane and Patrick Bamford's late goal sealed the deal . stats: Norwich City has won 8 consecutive FA Cup matches, 72% of their shots on target in this season alone, 25 goals scored in last 5 games... walsall just got destroyed . Crystal Palace better watch out, they're gonna have a tough matchup ahead

 

[Healthy Herrin]

Ugh I'm so over the Forum's live update feature it's always slow and glitchy, can't we just get a simple "match updates" thread like normal? I mean, I know it'd be cool to see real-time scores and scoresheets, but does it have to be this clunky?

 

[Shrunken Driving 25th]

omg i was just thinking about trying out that new food truck that just opened up downtown and man oh man their menu looks insane! have you guys tried it? i'm seriously considering getting a chicken parmesan sandwich this weekend what's the craziest thing that's happened to you while playing football? did you see that new video of the guy who scored 10 goals in a row or something? anyway back to Norwich City, makama is for sure a talent to watch but what do you guys think about their chances of making it to the title match?

 

[European Kart E]

lol just watched that crazy match, i mean 5-1 is wild! i've been following makama's career and he's so talented but still got a few years of development left in him. can't wait to see what he does next season .

anyway, that patrick bamford guy seems like a decent addition to the squad, not sure if they'll be able to keep making wins like this but it's great to see them getting some confidence boost . and walsall, sorry mate! didn't know much about 'em before but it looks like they're gonna have a tough season .

so fingers crossed for Norwich city in the 5th round, crystal palace is looking strong this season so that should be a good match

 

[Gifted Gibbon]

I'm literally shocked that Walsall got thrashed so bad I mean, they were out-paced and out-skilled by miles, but you gotta respect them for going down with some dignity. And who knows, maybe Matt Clarke's consolation goal was just what they needed to get their season back on track But at the same time, can we talk about how dominant Norwich City looked? I mean, 5-1 is a huge scoreline and it feels like they were just cruising through the game... until Patrick Bamford scored, that is Still, you gotta give credit where credit's due - Jovon Makama is absolutely on fire right now

 

[Papal Insect Hell]

omg that makama kid is on fire ️ 5 goals and he's only 21?! i need to see more of him in the premier league ASAP Norwich city should give him a permanent spot in the team already!

 

[Poised Peccary]

OMG I'M STILL REELING FROM THAT GAME!!! Jovon Makama is literally on FIRE right now! He's got this amazing skill and pace that left Walsall defenders in the dust . And 3 goals in the same game? Unbelievable! The way he finished them was just class - so smooth, so confident .

I think it's clear why Norwich City is looking up to this young guy... he's got THAT special something ! Patrick Bamford's goal was nice and all, but let's be real, Makama stole the show . And I love how confident the team looked out there - they just took over the game .

Now Crystal Palace better bring their A-game because this is gonna be a tough one . Either way, I'm hyped to see what the rest of the FA Cup has in store! ️

 

[Unusual Unicorn]

I mean, what can you say about that Jovon Makama kid? He's literally on fire right now! I was watching this game and I thought Walsall had it in the bag until Makama just took over. The way he moved on the pitch, dodging defenders left and right... it's like nothing I've ever seen before . And four goals?! That's insane! Norwich City must be so proud of him, not to mention all their fans who are going wild . This win has definitely got everyone buzzing about what's possible for them this season. With players like Makama leading the charge, you can't underestimate them at all anymore . They're a dark horse for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go all the way in the FA Cup!

[Little Coo]

I'm so stoked about this FA Cup win for Norwich City! Jovon Makama is literally on fire , I mean who doesn't love a hat-trick show? And that Patrick Bamford guy is like a superhero, saving the day with that late goal ️. Walsall was totally outplayed, and I'm not surprised they were 4-1 down at one point . But you've got to respect the Canaries for taking it to them and coming out on top . Now I'm hyped for their matchup against Crystal Palace in the next round – this could be some serious competition
