Norwich responded just four minutes later when Alan Lee headed home Adam Drury’s left-wing cross from 10 yards.

First Division | September 4, 1982
Bob Latchford claimed his second Swansea hat-trick as John Toshack’s side dismantled newly-promoted Norwich in emphatic fashion at the Vetch Field.
The visitors were already facing a huge task by half-time, with Latchford finding the net twice inside the opening half-hour before Robbie James added a third.
It was Norwich’s first visit to the Vetch since the 1964-65 season, but they endured a miserable return as Latchford completed his hat-trick with 10 minutes remaining.
The result underlined Swansea's impressive start to the campaign, although Toshack's side would ultimately suffer relegation to Division Two at the end of the season.
