Match Report | Stoke City 1-1 Norwich City

Ante Crnac's first goal for Norwich City was cancelled out by a first-half stoppage time equaliser, as the Canaries drew 1-1 away to Stoke City in the Sky Bet Championship.

Crnac opened the scoring for Norwich, firing in with a venomous half-volley before Million Manhoef levelled in first-half injury time.

Johannes Hoff Thorup made one change to the side that were winners at home to Hull City before the international break, with George Long replacing Angus Gunn between the sticks due to injury.

Stoke had the game's first shot on target. A chipped ball through the middle fell to Tom Cannon, whose effort was well saved by Long.

Norwich could've been in front just after the 20-minute mark. Anis Ben Slimane chipped in a delightful pass to Marcelino Núñez, whose flicked effort was saved brilliantly by Viktor Johansson in the Stoke goal.

The Canaries continued to threaten and saw Kenny McLean's header saved by the Stoke 'keeper.

And just before the break, Norwich would have their goal. Oscar Schwartau's shot was deflected into the path of Crnac, who fired in for his first goal as a Yellow.

But Norwich would go into half-time level, as Manhoef curled beyond Long to equalise in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Josh Sargent's deflected effort was the first Norwich chance of the second half, but it wasn't enough to trouble Johansson.

Callum Doyle and Borja Sainz combined well on the left, with the Spaniard's side-footed effort held by the goalkeeper.

Long had to get down well to deny Andrew Moran's effort, before Shane Duffy got in the way of one from Lewis Koumas.

Doyle came close with a strong effort, but he could only find the side-netting.

Neither side would find a winner in Staffordshire, as the points were shared.

The Canaries are on their travels once again in midweek, with a trip to Deepdale to face Preston North End on Tuesday night.
