Norwich City - Sunderland live updates

Defoe chases another long ball but Ruddy is off his line quickly this time and heads clear.

Jarvis bundled over in the box by Cattermole. Cries for a penalty from the home fans but it’s good defending and only a corner results.

This is a tense relegation battle with few half chances. Only one close moment when Mannone saved Kaboul’s deflection towards his own net.

Good ball in to the box from Borini and Cattermoloe gets there first but plants it over the bar. Half chance.

In comes the free kick but not the best from Brady and Sunderland clear.

A naughty challenge, that, from Khazri. Studs all over O’Neil’s foot. A couple of inches higher and that would have been red.

Yellow card for Khazri for a clumsy challenge on Gary O’Neil.

Half an hour gone here and Norwich have created the better chances but Sunderland also looking dangerous on the counter with Defoe a constant threat.

Jarvis again in acres of space on the right but his cross is very disappointing, straight into the hands of Mannone.

SAVE! Mannone to the rescue again to tip Olsson’s volley over the bar. Great technique.

SAVE! Mannone reacts well after Jarvis’ cross is deflected goalwards by Kaboul’s foot.

Sunderland have settled really well after soaking up intense Norwich pressure for the first ten minutes.

A good ball from Cattermole reaches Defoe before Ruddy, who is miles off his line. Defoe squares the ball and and it would be an open goal but it goes straight to a yellow shirt and Norwich clear.

Lots of long balls over the top from Sunderland for Defoe. It’s worked well this season. Van Aanholt fires well over the bar.
