The draw which was made on Monday evening saw the Canaries paired against Southampton and Tottenham, who played out a 1-1 draw in the match played at the St Mary’s Stadium.

Sofiane Boufal, with three minutes left on the clock, canceled out Son Heung-Min’s opener in the 58th minute to earn the Saints a replay.

Daniel Farke’s side on the other side made light work of Burnley at the Turf Moor in a 2-1 win at the weekend.

Two goals in four minutes by Scottish defender Grant Hanley in the 53rd minute of the game and Swiss forward Joseph Drmic scored in the 57th minute set the Canaries on a smooth sail to Victory.

Erik Pieters scored in the 72nd minute for the hosts to threaten a comeback, but it only, in the end, was just a mere consolation.
