That was all very watchable with plenty of pretty passing patterns but a bit tepid from both sides and lacking in intensity.
In saying that Norwich have the lead with the goal right on the stroke of half-time as Emiliano Marcondes found Josh Sargent who finished with great aplomb from just inside the box.
Angus Gunn did brilliantly to deny Swansea's Florian Bianchini from close range and Liam Cullen and Ronald have directed efforts off-target for the visitors who can feel a little aggrieved to be behind.
A header from Shane Duffy easily saved and Josh Sargent's shot across the face of goal were the closest Norwich had come until that goal right on the stroke of the whistle.
