Norwich 0 Sunderland 0: Fight! Handbags on the touchline and even Big Sam gets involved in a bit of pushing and shoving in a rather ineffective melee on the touchline.
Norwich 0 Sunderland 0: Norwich all over Sunderland at the moment, Jonny Howson gets th ball totally unmarked from a corner, but his long range shot is blocked.
Naismith's touch today so far has been dreadful.

Norwich 0 Sunderland 0: Still only Norwich doing anything, Brady picking out Mbokani with a great cross from the left, but the header doesn't have much power and is easily saved. Sunderland living dangerously.
Norwich 0 Sunderland 0: Khazri picks up a yellow card for a tackle on O'Neill.
Norwich 0 Sunderland 0: Jarvis is played in behind Sunderland's defence, but Cattermole does brilliantly to get back and make a tackle to snuff out the danger.
PENALTY TO SUNDERLAND! Wisdom clatters Borini and the referee points to the spot. Yellow card for the defender.
GOAL! Norwich 0 Sunderland 1 - Fabio BoriniHe makes no mistake!
Fabio Borini scores his 4th Premier League goal of the season from Sunderland's first shot on target. Huge goal.https://t.co/TCYhwpeMza
