Wes Hoolahan had been a bit quiet for Norwich in recent games. The Canaries have been on a bit of a run, unbeaten since the 14th of January in the league. It took a lot of pressure off of manager Alex Neil ahead of this afternoon's meeting with Nottingham Forest.
Three goals in ten minutes saw them flying. Wes provided the assist for Josh Murphy's second goal and then a minute later scored a wondergoal, lobbing Forest keeper Stephen Henderson from 30 yards. He even tried a rabona cross or two as the game wore on.
You can see the goal here.

Has Hoolahan just lobbed the keeper from 35 yards?

So good, that the opposition goalkeeper had to be taken off.
GOAL!!! Norwich 3-0 Forest - Hoolahan
Henderson looks seriously injured after trying to make the save

Norwich would go on to win 5-1, a result which moved them to 7th, just two points off the playoffs.
