90+1’ Embleton free-kick goes over

Four minutes added time

Sargent has also been booked for a foul on Cirkin.

Roberts has replaced Evans with three minutes to play.

84’ Norwich seeing more of the ball

Norwich have just started to register more controlled possession since the goal.

Sunderland have just threatened a couple of counter attacks but Simms and Embleton overhit their passes.

Really harsh on Sunderland that.

Ramsey broke free down the left and delivered a low cross which Sargent was able to convert from close range.

Pritchard has now made way with Embleton coming on.

O’Nien has been excellent today.

He stops another effort after Sargent beat Batth and Evans as the ball goes behind for a corner.
