Half-Time Report: Gera draws Baggies level

Zoltan Gera prods home two minutes before the interval to draw West Brom level against in-form Norwich at The Hawthorns.

Zoltan Gera tapped in two minutes before the break to pull West Bromwich Albion level against Norwich City this afternoon.

Early on Romelu Lukaku rose highest but couldn't keep Goran Popov's cross from the left down as the ball landed on the roof of the net.

Soon after Robert Snodgrass was presented with a shooting opportunity but he volleyed straight at the returning Ben Foster.

Lukaku was denied from a one-on-one opportunity by Mark Bunn moments before the visitors took the lead midway through the half.

Robert Snodgrass curled a free kick up and over the wall and Foster got a glove to it but couldn't keep it out.

The Baggies almost made a instant response but Gareth McAuley couldn't quite bundle Chris Brunt's corner over the line.

Steve Clarke's side did equalise in the 43rd minute when another Brunt corner was met by Jonas Olsson and Bunn could only tip onto the bar, with Gera following up to score West Brom's first goal in four games.

The only side on a longer unbeaten run in Europe's top five leagues (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France) than Norwich is Barcelona.
