Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at The Hawthorns. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both West Bromwich Albion FC and Norwich City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' 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 Brandon Thomas-Asante suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' West Bromwich Albion FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 20' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His West Bromwich Albion FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 30' A moment of madness from Borja Sainz on 30 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Norwich City FC will be frustrated.
  • 33' Norwich City FC player sees a Red card in front of him.
  • 38' Supporters expect more eagerness from Shane Duffy, as he is very good at scoring at The Hawthorns with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 43' West Bromwich Albion FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Norwich City FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Norwich City FC team. Ashley Barnes is replaced by Grant Hanley on 46 minute.
  • 50' Goal! Grady Diangana scores his 26 goal in 341 matches.
  • 55' Norwich City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 60' It looks like no one’s ball. Norwich City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' A tactical swap from West Bromwich Albion FC — Semi Ajayi on, Kyle Bartley off on 61 minutes.
  • 66' Danny Batth has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 383 appearances.
  • 71' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jack Stacey is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Norwich City FC.
