"Leeds cruised into the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 23 years with a 3-0 win at Elland Road against head coach Daniel Farke's former club Norwich. Sean Longstaff and Gabriel Gudmundsson struck first-half goals and Joel 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."
"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."
"Farke, who twice led Norwich to Premier League promotion and reached the FA Cup's last eight with them six years ago, watched from the stands as he served a one-game ban for his red card in last week's home defeat by Manchester City."
Leeds United defeated Norwich City 3-0 at Elland Road to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 23 years. Sean Longstaff and Gabriel Gudmundsson scored in the first half, with Joel Piroe adding a third goal late in the match. Head coach Daniel Farke watched from the stands while serving a one-game ban following his red card in the previous week's Manchester City match. The victory marked Leeds' return to winning form after consecutive Premier League defeats that had left them just three points above the relegation zone. Norwich, despite recent strong form with nine wins in their previous 11 matches, failed to replicate that performance in this cup encounter.
