Match Report | Norwich City 3-3 Middlesbrough

Norwich City came back from 3-1 down at half-time to claim a point with a 3-3 draw at home to Middlesbrough in the Sky Bet Championship.

Johannes Hoff Thorup named an unchanged side from Tuesday night's draw away at Preston North End, with Emiliano Marcondes making his first home start.

Borja Sainz registered the game's first chance, seeing his cross-cum-shot go just over the crossbar, before Marcondes drilled an effort wide of the post.

And it was the Spaniard who would open the scoring just before the 10-minute mark. Sainz picked up the ball on the edge of the area and fired into the top corner to put the Canaries ahead.

George Long was called into action for the first time shortly after the opener, getting down well to deny Finn Azaz.

Middlesbrough would find their leveller shortly after, however, as Conway met Neto Borges' cross and side-footed beyond Long.

A few half-chances followed for both sides, before Ante Crnac's volley was well saved by Seny Dieng in the Middlesbrough goal.

And from that resulting corner, Michael Carrick's side countered brilliantly through Ben Doak and Anfernee Dijksteel, who set up Conway for his second of the afternoon.

There was almost an instant reply from Norwich, as Sainz saw an effort go just wide of the post.

And in first-half injury time, Middlesbrough added a third. An initial effort was parried away by Long, but Azaz scrambled the ball into the back of the net from Doak's cross.

The away side had the opportunity to add a fourth goal in the second half as Riley McGree was felled in the box, but Conway saw his penalty saved by Long.

Moments after Long's penalty save, Sainz pulled a goal back for the Canaries as he curled into the top corner in emphatic fashion.

The Canaries were within inches of an equaliser as Oscar Schwartau met Callum Doyle's cut-back, but it was just wide of the post.

Norwich would equalise with 10 minutes to go as a cross from Kellen Fisher was deflected into his own goal by goalkeeper Dieng.

Kenny McLean saw red with three minutes of normal time remaining, with Norwich having to play the rest of the game with 10 men.

The points would be shared, with the game finishing three apiece.
