Both sides had a slow start to the game as they struggled in the final third of the pitch to carve out any clear-cut opportunities.

However, in the 31st minute Palace came close to taking the lead as Jason Puncheon won the ball deep in Norwich territory and he crossed to the back post looking for Cameron Jerome, but he could only scuff his effort wide.

The Canaries made Jerome pay for the miss as they took the lead in the 39th minute when Gary Hooper knocked a ball into the path of Bradley Johnson and he powered an effort from 20 yards past Julian Speroni into the net, off the post.

Palace got themselves back in the game from the penalty spot seconds after Jerome saw an effort cleared off the line as Leroy Fer pushed Mile Jedinak and Puncheon made no mistake converting the effort past John Ruddy.
