Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Norwich City FC vs Stoke City FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' Ben Wilmot has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mehdi Leris made 190 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' That is a Yellow card for Stoke City FC. Mehdi Leris will be fuming at that decision.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Stoke City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Norwich City FC and Stoke City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 31' A moment of madness from Ben Pearson on 31 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Stoke City FC will be frustrated.
  • 36' With 0 assists to his name this season, Michael Rose is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Norwich City FC.
  • 41' Stoke City FC have won 400 goals from 380 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 43' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Dimitris Giannoulis on 43 minutes.
  • 44' Jack Stacey has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 44 minutes.
  • 49' Over 49 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 54' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 59' Norwich City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 60' Ui-jo Hwang is ready to make an impact after coming on for Adam Idah at the 60 minute mark.
  • 61' The Stoke City FC manager makes a substitution. Wesley departs to be replaced by Daniel Johnson.
  • 66' Tyrese Campbell has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 71' Time for substitution for Norwich City FC. Jonathan Rowe is replaced by Onel Hernandez.
  • 74' The supporters are chanting for Junior Tchamadeu. He replaces Mehdi Leris on 74 minute.
  • 79' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 81' Christian Fassnacht is having his name booked by the referee on 81.
  • 82' A tactical swap from Norwich City FC — Tony Springett on, Christian Fassnacht off on 82 minutes.
  • 87' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jonathan Rowe, as he is very good at scoring at Carrow Road with 6 goals in the last 6 games.
  • 88' Dwight Gayle gets the nod from Stoke City FC. He replaces Wouter Burger and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
