# Norwich 2-2 Newcastle: Rating the Canaries

Norwich City held Championship giants Newcastle United to a 2-2 draw at Carrow Road last night.

The away side found themselves 1-0 up after just 23 seconds of play. Jack Colback found Ayoze Perez in the box and the Spaniard dispatched the ball into the back of the net with ease.

However, Norwich hit back and were ahead going into half-time. Firstly, Cameron Jerome won the ball back into the area before sliding the ball across to Jacob Murphy for a tap-in.

Then, Jerome was the beneficiary of a calamitous mistake from Toon goalkeeper Karl Darlow. The young shot-stopper went to clear the ball and completely missed his kick – giving Jerome the simplist of task to put Norwich 2-1 ahead.

Norwich desperately tried to defend their lead in the second half but were undone with little under ten minutes left to play. They failed to deal with a cross and Jamaal Lascelles scored at the back post.
