Leeds Sweep Past Norwich 3-0 To Reach First FA Cup Quarter-Final Since 2003

The victory offers Leeds a lift in a difficult league spell with the quarter-final draw set for Monday.

Overview

  • First-half strikes from Sean Longstaff (32') and Gabriel Gudmundsson (43') put Leeds in control before Joel Piroe added a late third on 85 minutes.
  • Daniel Farke served a one-match touchline ban and watched from the stands against his former club.
  • Norwich arrived on a run of nine wins in 11 but failed to register a first-half shot on target and were second best throughout.
  • A Lukas Nmecha finish was ruled out early after VAR penalised a Willy Gnonto handball in the buildup.
  • Leeds halted a run of two 1-0 home league defeats, with their last-eight opponent to be confirmed in Monday’s FA Cup draw.
