Norwich City were humiliated by newly promoted Plymouth Argyle, losing 6-2 at Home Park.
Goals from Morgan Whittaker (3), Dan Scarr, Finn Azaz and Luke Cundle secured an impressive win for Argyle, with Adam Idah scoring a late consolation double for David Wagner's men.
The loss means Norwich drop to sixth in the Championship table, eight points behind Ipswich in second.
After a bright start, Gabriel Sara had the first shot for the visitors, driving low from distance but seeing his effort beaten away by Conor Hazard in the Plymouth goal.
The hosts struck first, however, Whittaker cutting inside and reversing beyond Angus Gunn after Ryan Hardie left Joe Edwards' header to run.
Just over 20 minutes later, Argyle struck again. Norwich thought they'd been let off when Lewis Gibson diverted Joe Edwards' cross onto the bar, but the rebound found Scarr in space to pass home.
Shortly before the break a double blow from Steven Schumacher's men put the game beyond the Norfolk side. First Whittaker curled past Gunn for 3-0, before Finn Azaz made it four.
Whittaker should have added to the lead when he went through on goal, but the Scottish stopper's outstretched leg denied him.
Sara then provided Idah a golden chance to pull one back, but the striker's outstretched poke was straight at Hazard.
The Irishman did get a consolation in the 72nd minute, however, when he dispatched Sara's through-ball, adding to it when he scored a penalty six minutes later.
Luke Cundle rounded off the victory for Plymouth, tapping past Gunn in the final minute for 6-2.
