Norwich City manager Chris Hughton delighted by Gary Hooper's performance

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has expressed his delight at the performance of the club's summer signing Gary Hooper following his brace during the Canaries' 3-2 win over Watford in the Capital One Cup yesterday.

The Canaries boss described the 25-year-old as a "finisher" and was delighted to have seen the talented forward gain some valuable game time.

He told reporters : "He is a finisher. I'm probably as delighted that he has got 120 minutes under his belt than I am with the goals. 

"He is used to scoring but with all strikers it is about the service they get and showing a little bit of quality when they can.

"Both goals showed great movement, a super ball from Leroy Fer for the third. Even in that second half of extra time I was looking at how he was running and he was fine."
