Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Carrow Road will turn into a battlefield for Norwich City FC and Blackburn Rovers FC.
- 5' Thomas Kaminski is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Norwich City FC so far.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Grant Hanley made 383 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.

- 53' Kenny McLean adds to his 0 season tally! Norwich City FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 58' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ben Brereton suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' Blackburn Rovers FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 64' Blackburn Rovers FC ring the changes. Ben Brereton has done his job and it is now time for Sam Gallagher to step up.

- 75' Darragh Lenihan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 397 appearances.
- 77' The England Sam Gallagher breaks the deadlock on 77 minutes. 1-1!
- 82' Norwich City FC is showing some good football. However, Norwich City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 83' Christoph Zimmermann is replacing Ben Gibson for the Norwich City FC side.
- 85' Bradley Johnson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lewis Holtby on 85 minute.
- 90' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Norwich City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
