PAST MEETINGS: Norwich v Swans

 

Gary Hooper's fourth goal in six games denied Swansea a first Premier League win over Norwich in a 1-1 draw at Carrow Road.

The Scotland international brilliantly volleyed a 25-yard equaliser after Nathan Dyer had capitalised on Sebastien Bassong's error to lob the visitors ahead.

Dyer was then stretchered off shortly before half-time with a suspected fractured right ankle, while Michael Turner headed against the bar for Norwich before Hooper was denied by Michel Vorm.

At the other end, the Swans probed for a winner but Jonjo Shelvey was kept out by a smart stop from John Ruddy.

 

NORWICH: Ruddy, Whittaker, Olsson, Howson, Turner, Bassong, Redmond (Murphy, 83), Johnson, Elmander (Becchio, 76), Hooper, Fer.

 

SWANS: Vorm, Rangel, Amat, Williams, Davies, Canas, De Guzman, Shelvey, Dyer (Pozuelo, 44), Hernandez (Lamah, 83), Michu (Bony, 75).

 

 

 

Luke Moore's fifth goal of the season rescued a point for Swansea against Norwich at Carrow Road.

Top scorer Michu put the visitors ahead after a dominant start, rifling a right-foot shot into the roof of the net after Jonathan de Guzman's assist.

However, Robert Snodgrass hauled the Canaries level before the break, while Michael Turner put the hosts ahead after the restart.

But Luke Moore earned the Swans a share of the spoils when he volleyed home from close range, while Michu wasted a glorious chance to win it in added time.

 

NORWICH: Bunn (Camp, 15), Martin, Bassong, Turner, Garrido, Johnson, Snodgrass, Howson (Tetttey, 81), Hoolahan (Holt, 80), Bennett, Kamara.

Anthony Pilkington scored after just 49 seconds to set Norwich on their way to victory at Carrow Road.

Pilkington blasted the Canaries in front after a fast-paced start before Russell Martin added a second to put Norwich in command.

Danny Graham pulled a goal back with his second goal in as many games to give the visitors hope, but Pilkington scored his second of the game midway through the second half to seal the win.

 

NORWICH: Ruddy, Martin, Barnett, Tierney, Naughton, Johnson, Pilkington, Hoolahan (Crofts, 79), Fox, Bennett, Morison (Holt, 67).

 

SWANS: Vorm, Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor (Richards, 74), Britton, Allen, Routledge (Dobbie, 60), Dyer (Lita, 69), Sinclair, Graham.

 

 

 

An Ashley Williams own goal three minutes from time helped Norwich claim all three points at Carrow Road.

In a closely-fought game, David Cotterill looked set to seal victory for the Swans from the penalty spot but John Ruddy saved his spot-kick with two minutes to play.

Norwich then went ahead as Williams turned in Anthony McNamee's cross from the left, and Simeon Jackson wrapped up the win in injury time.

 

NORWICH: Ruddy, Martin, Drury, Nelson (Askou, 90), Ward, Crofts, Surman (McNamee, 64), Hoolahan (Jackson, 81), Smith, Holt, Martin.
