    Norwich City needed a second half equaliser from Jacob Murphy to salvage their eight-year unbeaten record against local rivals Ipswich Town. 

    The 22-year-old winger (pictured) struck to make it 1-1 at Carrow Road six minutes after Town had taken the lead with their only shot on target of the match.

    "I'd watched the goals from the previous game and Nath [Nathan Redmond] scored one at his near post so that was the thought process behind that one," said Murphy. 

    The goal was a rare blemish from Ipswich's Bartosz Bialkowski who pulled off a string of fine saves to keep Norwich at bay. 

  3. Celebrations for Ipswich Town's goalpublished at 09:08 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2017

    Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy said before yesterday's derby game at Carrow Road, that he'd be happy with a point.

    It looks as if fans were happy too, when Jonas Knudsen broke the deadlock between the two sides in the 63rd minute, which was, by general concensus, against the run of play :

  5. Norwich City manager disappointed by Derby drawpublished at 08:39 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2017

    Norwich City's Alex Neil told me that he felt his side had done enough to earn more than just a point from the East Anglian derby against Ipswich Town. 

    The Canaries had to settle for a 1-1 draw after a Jacob Murphy equaliser. 

    They failed to make the most of their dominance during the game and found Ipswich goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski in inspired form.

    "I thought we deserved a win," said Neil. 

    "We just lacked that cutting edge that we've had in most games this season and, when we did threaten to score, their keeper pulled off three really, really good saves."

    Ipswich Town, external boss Mick McCarthy told me on Thursday he'd be happy with a point from yesterday's East Anglian derby, and that's exactly what he got.

    It finished 1-1 between Town and Norwich City at Carrow Road , thanks partly to another goalkeeping masterclass from Blues stopper Bartosz Bialkowski.

    "We never really got the ball down and passed it for long periods of time, but the goal we scored was the best passage of play we'd had," said McCarthy.

    "We've had to defend and be resolute and tough and organised. 

    "All of those horrible things people don't like when you are getting beat, but when you come to Norwich and get a point we all respect those qualities."
