Norwich City's Grant Holt put Yeovil Town to the sword, as his hat-trick banished any memories of the Canaries' 7-1 drubbing against Colchester United.
Glovers' boss Terry Skiverton handed Scott Murray his first-team debut in place of Ryan Mason, who missed the game with a groin strain.
Sam Williams started his first competitive game in green and white replacing the injured Dean Bowditch, while Tottenham Hotspur loanee Jon Obika took a place on the substitutes' bench after signing hours earlier.
Norwich City made five changes to the team that lost to Colchester United but still looked shaky in the opening exchanges.Canary Ben Alnwick was marginally the busier shot-stopper as the defensive pairing of Gary Doherty and Jens Berthel Askou looked shaky under pressure.
But despite their opponent's defensive frailties, Yeovil failed to create a significant opening in the final third.Gavin Tomlin had to rely on half-chances and tested Alnwick from 20 yards two minutes before half-time, while Williams rarely threatened.
At the other end, Glovers' captain Stefan Stam looked to be afflicted by nerves too, but Steven Caulker (pictured) continued from where he left off against Tranmere Rovers on Saturday with some excellent tackling.
It was Norwich who had the best chance of the half on 37 minutes, with only the out-stretched leg of Murray preventing Michael Spillane netting a fine volley.
Norwich took little time in the second half to gain an upperhand, attacking with venom and determination.Moments before Norwich took the lead in the 54th minute, Cody McDonald came close but Caulker did just enough to prevent the striker from hitting the target with a diving header.
The Canaries opener came from the penalty spot, when Adam Drury was adjudged to have been brought down by Murray.The Scot appeared to have got a toe on the ball before felling the player.
Wes Hoolahan smashed home an emphatic penalty kick.Norwich took less than ten minutes to double their advantage, subduing a Huish Park crowd that had loudly welcomed Obika's entrance to the game in place of Murray.
Lapse defending allowed a Simon Whaley cross to bounce across the box, with the ball sitting kindly for Grant Holt to head home his first goal in a yellow shirt.
McDonald then rattled the bar after 72 minutes as Norwich grew in confidence and Yeovil appeared to lose their way.
Holt doubled his tally for the evening eight minutes from time. Adeyemi had sprinted clear of the Yeovil defence, only to be denied by McCarthy's feet. Holt mopped up the loose ball and had the easy task of side-footing into an empty net.
The striker completed his hat-trick and Yeovil's misery with his best goal of the night on the stroke of full-time, unleashing an unstoppable shot from 20 yards that went in via the post.
