"Sean Longstaff and Gabriel Gudmundsson struck first-half goals and Joël Piroe put the tie to bed in the closing stages as Leeds sealed a place in the last eight for the first time since 2003 under former manager Terry Venables."
"Gudmundsson charged on to Gnonto's pass into the area and pulled the ball back for Longstaff, who swivelled on to his excellent first touch to volley home his first goal since September."
"Leeds bounced back to winning ways after successive Premier League defeats left them three points above the relegation zone, while Norwich failed to reproduce the form that saw them win nine of their previous 11 matches in all competitions."
Leeds secured a 3-0 victory over Norwich at Elland Road to advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals for the first time in 23 years. Sean Longstaff and Gabriel Gudmundsson scored in the first half, while Joël Piroe added a third late in the match. The win came after Leeds suffered consecutive Premier League defeats that left them hovering just three points above the relegation zone. Norwich, managed by former Leeds coach Daniel Farke who was serving a one-game ban, failed to replicate their recent form that included nine wins in their previous 11 matches. Leeds dominated the first half with multiple chances, including a disallowed goal for Lukas Nmecha due to a handball in the buildup.
