Events

Match Events

5' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Alfie Chang.
10' A quiet spell here at Carrow Road. Birmingham City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
16' It’s a booking for Norwich City FC player. Kenny McLean gets a Yellow card.
21' The home supporters are growing impatient. Norwich City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
26' Supporters expect more eagerness from Scott Hogan, as he is very good at scoring at Carrow Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

28' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Marcelino Nunez makes it 2-0.
33' Norwich City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
37' Against the run of play, Marcelino Nunez has scored! This game has turned on its head.
42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Max Aarons made 383 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
