Norwich City strolled to a 2-0 victory over King's Lynn Town at the Walks, goals from Teemu Pukki and Christos Tzolis ensuring they maintained their unbeaten start to pre-season.

The Canaries started slowly, conceding the game's first two chances to Lynn's Theo Widdrington and Adam Crowther.

Dean Smith's side eventually wrested control back and began to dominate. Tzolis and Grant Hanley both missed chances, before Pukki predictably broke the deadlock.

Widdrington's pass back to ex-City goalkeeper Paul Jones was well short, and the Finn couldn't miss with the goal at his mercy.

Tzolis doubled Norwich's lead shortly thereafter, driving home with his left foot after compatriot Dimitris Giannoulis had broken the offside trap and cut the ball back.

Pukki limped worryingly off two minutes before he was supposed to after a firm tackle from Adam Crowther. Smith then made wholesale changes after 58 minutes, and City saw out the final third of the game comfortably.
