Norwich City had to settle for a point away to Blackburn Rovers in the Sky Bet Championship, drawing 1-1 at Ewood Park.

Ben Chrisene replaced Lucien Mahovo in the only change from last weekend's win at home to Stoke City, with Emiliano Marcondes returning from injury for a place on the bench.

Anis Ben Slimane had the game's first chance of the game, as the Tunisian international was found by Lewis Dobbin's cut-back. But Slimane's effort was wide of the post.

Augustus Kargbo created Blackburn's first opportunity of the game, but his shot didn't trouble Angus Gunn in the Norwich goal.

Dobbin's afternoon came to an end just after the half-hour mark, as he pulled up after the Canaries broke well. He was replaced by Ante Crnac.

The first sighter on goal in the second half fell to Shane Duffy, who saw a looping header go wide of the post.

Andreas Weimann flashed a header across goal after being introduced as a substitute, but it was wide of Gunn's goal.

Blackburn were reduced to 10 men with five minutes left, as Emmanuel Dennis received a second yellow card for a late challenge on Chrisene.

And there would be an opener late on as Crnac curled in from a Marcondes cut-back as the Canaries thought they had claimed all three points at Ewood Park.

But there would be late drama as Blackburn equalised in the sixth minute of stoppage time, with Weimann heading in.

The Canaries are in Friday night action as they welcome Oxford United to Carrow Road in another Championship fixture (KO 8pm).
