The Canaries were, arguably, the better side but Brighton were able to hold out for a draw as they prepare for their first ever top-flight campaign.

One of the Carrow Road debutantes equalised for City just before half-time. Summer signing Marley Watkins collected the ball on the edge of the box and lashed a strike into the top corner off the underside of the bar.
