Colchester United boss Paul Lambert was ecstatic after seeing his side start the new season with an amazing 7-1 victory at Norwich City.

The U's were five goals ahead by half-time at Carrow Road, as they began the League One campaign in some style.

Lambert told The Gazette: "I've watched football and been involved in it a long time but that was right up there.

"I said to them at half-time that it's the best I've seen in years, as a player or a manager.

"I thought they were sensational, our performance was absolutely unbelievable. To win 7-1 is a phenomenal performance."
