Our man of the match: West Brom (A)

Norwich City continued their run of games without a win as they held West Brom to a 1-1 draw at The Hawthorns.

The Canaries are now five games without a win in all competitions, with their last three points coming away to Blackburn in December.

Dwight Gayle opened the scoring for West Brom early on, as he converted from close range after a cross from Mason Holgate.

Norwich rescued a point late on when two substitutes combined as Kenny McLean whipped the ball in for Jordan Rhodes to touch home in the 83rd minute.

It was a hard-fought point for Norwich with some good performances across the park, but who was the man of the match?

Our Norwich man of the match is… Tim Krul!

The Dutchman put Norwich under some pressure in the first half with a number of poor kicks and a dodgy throw, but when it came to his shot-stopping he was excellent.

He made four or five top saves to deny West Brom, with one crucial flying save in stoppage time to preserve the point for Norwich.

Krul has come under a lot of criticism this season, and rightly so at times, but he is now starting to reward Farke’s faith in him.
