Watford's EFL Cup journey ended early as they fell 2-1 to Norwich City at Vicarage Road, despite a lively cameo from Ghanaian forward Kwadwo Baah.
The visitors started brightly, taking the lead in the 10th minute when Josh Sargent slotted home from close range.
Marcelino Núñez doubled the advantage 14 minutes later with a stunning strike from distance, leaving the hosts chasing the game before half-time.
Baah entered the game in the 62nd minute, replacing Thomas Ince, and quickly became a spark for the Hornets.
