Two goals from Anthony Pilkington helped Norwich beat Swansea 3-1 at home on Saturday for its third win of the season.

Pilkington scored the fastest goal of the Premier League season when he volleyed in after 50 seconds and Norwich was quickly 2-0 up through Russell Martin's header in the 9th minute.

Danny Graham scored his second goal in two games in the 12th to give Swansea hope but Pilkington struck again in the 63rd to give Norwich a third win in four matches and keep the newly promoted side ninth in the standings.

Swansea, which came up with Norwich last season, drops a place to 11th after a fourth away loss in four games.
