    Time:90'
    • Norwich City
    • Ipswich
    • 90+2' The final whistle confirms Norwich's bragging rights until April, when they meet again. The Canaries move up to 19th, five points behind 13th-placed Ipswich.
    • 90' A third yellow for Ipswich before the end: Veliche Shumulikoski the man penalised.
    • 83' Ipswich miss a sitter immediately!! David Norris could only hit the ball into a defender with the goal gaping. Owen Garvan followed up with a strike from 25 yards which sailed over the bar. Agony for Town fans.
    • 82' PATTISON THUMPS THE BALL OFF THE CROSSBAR AND IN FOR NUMBER TWO!! The ball ricocheted about following a free-kick and fell to him six yards out!!
    • 64' Walters booked as Ipswich become frustrated, while Wright also went into the book before the goal.
    • 63' Croft feeds Lita on the right side of the box and the nippy striker, as unpredictable as ever today - in both a good way and a bad way - shoots low into the side netting. Good effort. All Norwich at present.
    • 61' LEE CROFT SMASHES NORWICH IN FRONT!! Pattison fed him in the centre of the park and he cracked the ball into the top corner!! Great goal!!
    • 51' Walters through on goal for Town after a poor defensive header... he has time... David Marshall makes the save!! He stood tall and Walters bottled it!!
    • 46' The second half begins, Ipswich now kicking to our left.
    • 45' Half-time in Norwich. Level at the break in a fiesty clash.
    • 45' Matthew Pattison breaks for Norwich late in the half, letting fly... Wright makes the save. Before that Jon Walters was unlucky with a pair of efforts at the other end.
    • 35' CLINGAN HITS THE BAR!! He played a clever one-two before striking at goal from over 20 yards out; the diving Alex Bruce got something on it and the ball dipped over Richard Wright and over via the woodwork!! Strangely the ref awards a goal-kick - you can imagine what the fans think about that...
    • 32' The Canaries have been the most dangerous side in the opening half-hour, but Ipswich are coming back into it now...
    • 20' David Bell with space on the left side of the box, clipping the ball across... blocked by Gareth McAuley's hand!! He was turning away from the ball, but that does not stop everyone in a yellow shirt on the pitch and in the stands appealing for a penalty... no cigar. It could have gone either way.
    • 15' The tackles are flying in all over the place. Referee Lee Probert has his hands full trying to maintain order while not booking too many men early on...
    • 10' Sammy Clingan of Norwich booked for a late challenge - he may feel aggrieved as Moritz Volz got away with a hefty tackle moments before...
    • 1' The match kicks off with patches of sunlight on a cold day. Norwich, in yellow and green of course, attack the goal to our left; Ipswich are in blue and white. We will bring you the key incidents.
    • - The teams: Norwich: Marshall, Otsemobor, Doherty, Omozusi, Bertrand, Croft, Clingan, Pattison, Bell, Hoolahan, Lita. Subs: Nelson, Drury, Fotheringham, Lupoli, Russell. Ipswich: Richard Wright, Volz, McAuley, Bruce, David Wright, Norris, Garvan, Shumulikoski, Ambrose, Counago, Walters. Subs: Supple, Naylor, Miller, Stead, Haynes. Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)
    • - These two don't like each other much. With both in the bottom half of the table and Norwich just outside the relegation zone, both will be even more desperate for a win; in this tight league the Tractor Boys can get right to the edge of the play-offs with an away victory.
