Our Norwich City correspondent Paddy Davitt has posted his marks following the Canaries’ 4-0 romp at Bolton Wanderers.
Here is Paddy’s verdict on Daniel Farke’s troops, who hit the top again and bounced back in style from a midweek setback to hammer Bolton.
• Tim Krul
Second clean sheet in three games but could have taken the day off. 7
• Max Aarons

Front foot attacking instincts. Got his reward with link roles in the goals for Marco Stiepermann and Emi Buendia. 8
• Christoph Zimmermann

Solid against some big boys and the gorgeous pass for Teemu Pukki to make it four. 8
• Ben Godfrey
One barnstorming run ended with a chance for Buendia. Strong and quick to shut down the balls into the channels fired at Josh Magennis and Clayton Donaldson. 7

Enjoyed himself in support of Onel Hernandez. Couple of final balls could have been better. 7
• Tom Trybull
Big response to getting hooked at Preston. Link role for Stiepermann’s finish and kept Bolton on the carousel all day. 8
• Kenny McLean
Assist for Buendia but the latest to fluff his lines from the penalty spot. 7
• Emi Buendia
Perfectly-timed run and cushioned volley to finish. Could have had plenty more in that one-sided first half. 8
• Marco Stiepermann
Major injury doubt pre-match but underlined his value to the cause. Superb threaded pass set up Pukki for the opener. Then anticipated the cutback from his partner to roll home City’s second. 8
• Onel Hernandez
Best outing for a while. Set the tone with a driving run inside the opening seconds and was a constant threat with his pace and direct thrust. 8
• Teemu Pukki
Brace and an assist. Writing his own headlines now. Which should have included a first City matchball if he had opted to elbow Kenny McLean aside on the penalty. 9
