Norwich City fans received a much-needed boost as their side came from behind to beat Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup.
Goals from Gabriel Sara, Adam Idah and Kenny McLean ensured a 3-1 win over the Pirates at the Memorial Stadium, meaning they'll travel to Liverpool in 11 days' time for a fourth-round clash at Anfield.
More than 800 supporters were in attendance on a cold night in the south west, and they were mostly pleased with the performance they saw.

Against many expectations, including mine, we're still unbeaten in 2024. If it continues for the three remaining January games (West Brom, Leeds & Liverpool), I'll concede David Wagner deserves to keep his job. #ncfc

Just seen the FA Cup final is the day before the play off final. It’s a shame we’ll have to rest players for an FA Cup final. Saves money on an extra trip down at least #ncfc

Well, first half was shoddy but once Lungi dropped back, Nunez came on and Sara was pushed forward we looked much better, especially in transition/on the break. Fun night - nice to see us play on my doorstep (again!) and at an atmospheric small ground #NCFC #OTBC

We are now on a run of two defeats in the last twelve games.

Quite remarkable that we are picking up so many results playing a brand of anti-football.
But it does have to be acknowledged that we've become harder to beat. #ncfc
Well deserved 2nd half much better performance needed fair play to our travelling fans in the cold weather and bring on anfield #ncfc

A wins a win, but not looking forward to seeing us get turned over against Liverpool 😅 #ncfc

#ncfc OK so we won but this feels weird. Maybe we can get a shock against Liverpool, who knows?
