Fulham advanced into the Carabao Cup fourth round after they fought hard to beat Norwich 2-1 at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n

Goals from Carlos Vinicius and Alex Iwobi were enough for Marco Silva\u2019s men who responded well after the weekend\u2019s lacklustre 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

Fulham found success early on down the left flank through Willian and Fode Ballo-Toure, who created a 10th-minute chance for Vinicius that the striker headed over.<\/p>\n

Vinicius justified a run out after his winner against Luton two weeks ago and he opened the scoring in the 10th minute.<\/p>\n

Willian\u2019s floated delivery found Iwobi at the back stick and he headed it across goal to Vinicius who tapped home.<\/p>\n

Recommended<\/h3>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Silva had called for more chances to be created during games and Fulham did just that through Harry Wilson, Willian and Tom Cairney.<\/p>\n

Norwich responded and fluffed a golden chance to level against the run of play in the 19th minute when Przemyslaw Placheta\u2019s driven cross fell kindly to Tony Springett, who dragged his shot wide.<\/p>\n

Minutes later Norwich\u2019s whipped corner found the head of towering centre-back Jaden Warner and Marek Rodak saved.<\/p>\n

A neat switch from Wilson in the 39th minute resulted in the ball being played back in the other direction to Vinicius who should of doubled his tally from six yards.<\/p>\n

The tide changed after half-time and it was Norwich\u2019s turn to put pressure on the hosts.<\/p>\n

It started with Sam McCallum who beautifully slalomed through white shirts before firing wide.<\/p>\n

In the 51st minute, Kellen Fisher let fly from outside the box but his effort clipped the outside of Rodak\u2019s post as Norwich were denied any rewards for their attacking flurry.<\/p>\n

Craven Cottage demanded more and on the hour Silva\u2019s men threw numbers forward in an effort to firm their grip on the tie.<\/p>\n

Willian, who was the standout player for the hosts, delivered a floated corner which fell to the unmarked Wilson who sweetly volleyed past goalkeeper George Long before Adam Forshaw managed a last-ditch clearance off the line to keep it at 1-0.<\/p>\n

But Fulham doubled their lead in the 72nd minute.<\/p>\n

Iwobi drove forward with the ball and combined with Wilson before the Nigerian guided the ball into the bottom corner to open his Fulham account.<\/p>\n

But typical of the end-to-end game, Norwich equalised after 75 minutes through Borja Sainz.<\/p>\n

The explosive Adam Idah burst away on a counter-attack and found Sainz whose first attempt was denied by Rodak before he managed to bundle the ball into the net to give the Norfolk side hope.<\/p>\n

Despite Norwich\u2019s best efforts Fulham held their nerve during five minutes added time to seal victory.<\/p>\n
