Canaries trio named in FA Cup team of the round

Three of Norwich City’s players have been named in a team of the round following the conclusion of the FA Cup fifth round fixtures.

Canaries keeper Tim Krul and defenders Ben Godfrey and Jamal Lewis have all made it into the XI selected by WhoScored.com based on their statistical ratings.

That follows a 1-1 draw after extra-time at Tottenham on Wednesday night, which was followed by a 3-2 penalty shoot-out success featuring two Krul saves and successful spot-kicks from Adam Idah, Marco Stiepermann and Todd Cantwell.

The success has teed up a Carrow Road quarter-final against Manchester United for later this month, with Daniel Farke's team looking to reach the semi-finals for just the fourth time in City's history.

WhoScored.com rate Krul's match performance at 8.59 out of 10, with crucial saves from Giovanni Lo Celso, Lucas Moura and Serge Aurier ahead of his shoot-out heroics.
