Minute Commentary
90' FULL TIME
A last minute Grant Holt goal has secured three crucial points for Norwich City and sent the home fans at Carrow Road home happy. The hosts started slowly and found themselves a goal down thanks a to a Leon Osman headed effort. Norwich rallied after the break and substitute Kei Kamara grabbed an equaliser following a cross from Robert Snodgrass. The home side were visibly lifted by the goal and pressed forward in search of a late winner, which was provided in the final minute by Grant Holt, who poked the ball home from close range. David Moyes and Everton can't believe they've not at least taken a point, having controlled the game for long periods, but they couldn't hold the tide in the final stages.
90' FINAL WHISTLE
Lee Mason blows his whistle and the home crowd are delighted with having seen their side score a dramatic late goal to secure the three points. Chris Hughton is estatic on the touchline, whilst David Moyes can't believe his side have thrown three points away. It's finished Norwich 2-1 Everton.
90' GOOOAAAALLL!!!!!!
Norwich have grabbed a second goal through GRANT HOLT. The striker missed a glorious effort a minute ago but has made no mistake from close range. A cross is lumped into the Everton penalty area and both Bassong and Kamara appear to get a head to it. The ball falls kindly to Holt and the striker poaches the ball into the back of the net. Carrow Road is bouncing and it's Norwich 2-1 Everton.
90' SO CLOSE
Grant Holt almost finds the winning goal. Robert Snodgrass brings the ball into the penalty area and plays the ball into the path of the striker. Holt makes contact with the ball, but the shot is blocked by Phil Jagielka and the ball is cleared upfield.
90' ADDED TIME
Three minutes announced for either side to find a winner. Kevin Mirallas has his first effort on goal, but Mark Bunn saves and Norwich clear.
87' PRESSING FORWARD
Carrow Road is rocking and the hosts are going in search of a winning goal. David Moyes reacts to conceding the equaliser by making a change. Steven Pienaar is replaced by Bryan Oviedo. Leon Osman clumsily fouls Holt and the hosts can knock the ball forward once again.
84' GOOOAAAALLL!!!!
Norwich have equalised and it's the substitute KEI KAMARA. The striker rises above Marouane Fellaini to head home a cross from Robert Snodgrass and Carrow Road erupts. It's Norwich 1-1 Everton and Kamara has his first goal in the Premier League.
82' POOR
Groans around Carrow Road. Javier Garrido plays a free kick into the penalty area from distance, but it's hit straight at Tim Howard and the chance is wasted.
80' SUBSTITUTION
First change from Everton. Kevin Mirallas replaces Nikica Jelavic, with David Moyes hoping to utilise his pace on the counter.
77' URGENCY
Chris Hughton is urging his side to press forward and the crowd are lifting the home team. Everton continue to be resolute, and are looking to pick the hosts off on the break.
72' SUBSTITUTION
Wesley Hoolahan is replaced by Anthony Pilkington, as Chris Hughton looks to ask more questions of the Everton defence.
71' WAKING UP
Everton have increased their tempo and are going in search of a second. Seamus Coleman is played through by Pienaar, but the right-back can't get his shot on target and Mark Bunn collects for a goal kick.
67' BIG CHANCE
Norwich almost find the equaliser. Wesley Hoolahan plays the ball into the path of Kei Kamara and he heads his effort wide of the right hand post. Tim Howard was beaten, but so was the woodwork. Chris Hughton can't believe it, but will be happy at the number of chances his side are having.
64' CORNER
The hosts push forward and earn another corner. Robert Snodgrass again plays the ball into the penalty area, but Tim Howard again takes control of the situation and collects. Chris Hughton urges his side to keep up the tempo, but knows the delivery from crosses needs to be better if they are to take advantage.
60' KAMARA EFFORT
The substitute is straight into the action, with a turn and shot from long-range. The shot drifts away from goal, but the Norwich fans applaud in encouragement.
58' SUBSTITUTION
First throw of the dice from Chris Hughton. Luciano Becchio is taken off and replaced by Kei Kamara.
57' CLOSE
Everton almost grab a second. A Darron Gibson corner causes chaos and Luciano Becchio heads clear under the crossbar.
54' FIRST BOOKING
Grant Holt is the first player to be booked for a foul on Coleman. The Norwich fans and players are beginning to get frustrated, as Everton continue to keep possession.
50' NORWICH CHANCE
First chance of the second half. Luciano Becchio is played in by Turner, but the striker can't reach the ball and Tim Howard races off his line to intercept.
46' SECOND HALF
Everton get the second half underway at Carrow Road.
46' HALF TIME
Lee Mason blows his whistle and David Moyes will be the most satisfied of the two managers, having seen Leon Osman break the deadlock with the only goal of the game. Norwich started with urgency, but Everton have been resolute and have taken control since grabbing the goal. Work to do for Chris Hughton ahead of the second half as it's Norwich 0-1 Everton.
44' RESPONSE NEEDED
The hosts are pressing forward in search of an equaliser. Jonathan Howson finds space on the edge of the penalty area, and his shot is forced behind by Howard for a corner. Snodgrass whips it into the box, but a deflection allows the ball to fall kindly into the arms of the goalkeeper.
39' GOOOAAAALLL!!!
Everton take the lead at Carrow Road. The visitors break forward and Leighton Baines plays a cross into the penalty area. LEON OSMAN is first to it and heads it past Mark Bunn into the back of the net. It's Norwich 0-1 Everton.
36' GOOD SAVE
Best chance of the game falls to Norwich. Grant Holt is played through on goal by Becchio, but the striker fails to beat Tim Howard and the goalkeeper holds the ball.
34' UNHAPPY
Marouane Fellaini tangles with Bradley Johnson and Lee Mason gives Norwich a free kick. The Everton player is angry and shows the referee some blood on his leg. Robert Snodgrass whips the free kick into the penalty area, but Phil Jagielka heads the ball clear of danger.
29' NERVY
A long ball causes mayhem in the Norwich penalty area and Mark Bunn struggles to punch clear. The ball falls to Marouane Fellaini, but Lee Mason deems that the Norwich goalkeeper was fouled and the hosts can regroup.
25' CHANCES
The hosts win another corner. Both Bassong and Turner go forward, but the delivery is poor from Robert Snodgrass and Everton break. Steven Pienaar plays in Fellaini, but once again he can't get any placement into his shot and it blazes over the bar.
21' EVERTON CHANCE
Everton are slowly beginning to get a foothold. Luciano Becchio fouls Darron Gibson and the visitors have a free kick. The ball is played into the penalty area by Baines and Fellaini is first to it. The Belgium international shoots, but the shot is blocked by Mark Bunn and the hosts clear.
16' DANGEROUS
Grant Holt sloppily gives the ball away and Everton break forward. Fortunately for the hosts, Michael Turner reads the danger and intercepts a Leon Osman pass before Nikica Jelavic can reach the ball.
12' SETTLED DOWN
The tempo of the game has slowed following the initial flurry of chances. Norwich are trying to build patiently, but it is wasted when Grant Holt is flagged for offside. Nevertheless Chris Hughton will be happy with the way his side have taken to the task in the early stages.
8' EVERTON CHANCE
First effort for Everton. Leighton Baines takes a long throw and the ball falls to Nikica Jelavic. The Croatian international turns and shoots, but Mark Bunn comfortably saves.
6' ALMOST
Robert Snodgrass is causing Everton a lot of problems. The playmaker brings the ball forward and tests Tim Howard with a low drive that the American goalkeeper has to parry behind for a corner. The delivery from Wesley Hoolahan is poor and Sylvain Distin can clear.
4' FIRST CHANCE
First chance of the game falls to Norwich. Robert Snodgrass gets the ball on the wing and whips a cross into the penalty area. Tim Howard is quickly off his line to catch, with Grant Holt in close proximity.
1' UNDERWAY
Lee Mason blows his whistle and we are underway at Carrow Road.
0' EVERTON TEAM NEWS
Three changes for the visitors. Seamus Coleman has shaken off a knock to start at right-back in place of Phil Neville. Sylvain Distin also replaces John Heitinga in defence, with Nikica Jelavic being recalled up front. Victor Anichebe has failed a fitness test and misses out on a place in the squad.
0' NORWICH TEAM NEWS
Two changes for the hosts. Grant Holt does make his return up front alongside Luciano Becchio. Jonathan Howson also replaces the injured Alexander Tettey.
0' ONES TO WATCH
Norwich will be boosted by the return of Grant Holt, as he recovers from a back injury. With goals at a premium, the striker will be seen as the focal point of the Norwich attack as they go in search of their first league win this year. Everton could hand a debut to John Stones at right-back. Injuries to both Coleman and Hibbert mean there is a slot available and it will be interesting to see how quickly the new signing can adapt to the Premier League.
0' LOSING MOMENTUM
Everton continue to push for a European place, but recent weeks have seen the goals scored dry up. The visitors looked visibly tired last time out against Man Utd and David Moyes will be urging his side to show that they can last the distance. The number of draws has been a concern, with seven of their 14 games against sides in the bottom half resulting in a point.
0' CONCERNS
Norwich remain winless in 2013, but Chris Hughton has been happy in the way his side have defended in recent weeks. The main issue for the hosts is scoring, with only one goal in their last five games. Historically the hosts have always struggled in this fixture, having not beaten Everton since the 93-94 season when Mike Walker was in charge.
0' MAN IN THE MIDDLE
Lee Mason will be the official at Carrow Road for the first time this season. His last game involving Everton was their shock League Cup defeat to Leeds and the visiting fans will not be wanting a repeat of that scoreline this afternoon.
0' PREVIEW
A big game in the Premier League, as Norwich City host Everton looking to pick up their first league win of 2013. A run of three draws has seen the club stablise in 14th position, but Chris Hughton will know his team need to start picking up victories or risk being dragged into the relegation fight. Everton will be hoping to continue their push for a European spot, as well as opening up a six point gap ahead of fierce rivals Liverpool. It promises to be an entertaining fixture, with both sides going for the three points.
