Paris Maghoma starred as Norwich City made it four wins in a row by condemning Bristol City to their sixth Championship home defeat and piling the pressure on manager Michael Skubala.

The angry home fans booed at Ashton Gate and the Robins' fourth consecutive home loss was difficult viewing for Skubala heading into the international break.

Maghoma was unplayable for Norwich as he scored for the fourth successive match before setting up Andre Brooks for the Canaries' third.

Harry Darling and substitute Jovon Makama were also on target before Mathias Kvistgaarden completed the rout from the penalty spot.

Maghoma continued his hot streak when he opened the scoring after 22 minutes.

Sam Field won the ball in the final third and the Robins stood off, allowing Maghoma to run into the box and score right-footed into the far bottom corner.

City should have levelled when top scorer Scott Twine shot straight at Norwich goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw from three yards out from Lisav Eissat's flick-on and on-loan Crystal Palace midfielder Rio Cardines then shot into the side netting from a narrow angle on the right.

It got worse for the Robins as they tried and failed to clear a corner three times before Darling scored with a looping header on 53 minutes.

Three minutes later it was 3-0 when Maghoma's cross was deflected to Brooks, who shot home to provoke the booing from the home supporters.

Norwich added their fourth in the 70th minute when Anthony Musaba crossed the ball back across goal for Makama to fire home with his first touch after coming on.

And Kvistgaarden made it 5-0 on 80 minutes when Eissat needlessly dragged him down in the box and the Danish striker got up to slot home the penalty.

Norwich have won two consecutive away games by four or more goals for the first time.

By contrast, the Robins have scored just four league home goals this season and they were denied the smallest consolation of a fifth in stoppage time when Darling raced back to clear Dom Ballard's effort off the line.
