Norwich City held Premier League side Southampton to a 2-2 draw in the FA Cup at Carrow Road today.
The Canaries will now face an away trip to play Southampton at St.Mary’s in the replay next Wednesday.
It was the away side who took the lead. Saints captain Virgil Van Dijk expertly volleyed into the bottom corner after he found space in the box from a corner.
Norwich were then handed the perfect chance to level when teenage goalkeeper Harry Lewis fouled Cameron Jerome in the area. Steven Whittaker stepped up and slotted the ball into the back of the net.
Southampton then took the lead again – with Maya Yoshida heading home from a Hojbjerg cross to make it 2-1.
However, Norwich secured the draw in the 92nd minute. Whittaker turned provider as he whipped a superb cross in for Steven Naismith to head home.
Here is how we rated the Canaries…
