Norwich City cruise past Peterborough United

Norwich City progress to the third round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory over potentially difficult opponents Peterborough at London Road.

Elliott Bennett, Simeon Jackson and Robert Snodgrass all bagged a goal apiece as Norwich City comfortably beat Peterborough United in the FA Cup third round this afternoon.

Chris Hughton made eight changes to the Canaries starting lineup, but his much-altered side were still able to negotiate a tricky tie against their East Anglia rivals.

After previously being denied by two Robert Olejnik saves, the lively Bennett opened the scoring for the Premier League outfit.

A jinking run from Snodgrass opened up the Posh defence, which allowed Bennett to collect a pass from his teammate before poking in from eight yards.

Recalled striker Jackson doubled Norwich's advantage before the break when he latched onto a David Fox long ball before lifting the ball over Olejnik.

Snodgrass completed the scoring when Bennett capitalised on poor defending to square for the Scot to drive into the net.
