    There are plenty of Norwich players asking questions of the referee as the full-time whistle goes. Plenty to talk about - you can get all the reaction on our Premier League live page right here.

    Norwich City 1-3 Crystal Palace (Yohan Cabaye)

    Game, set, match my friends. With Norwich looking to get forward, James McArthur releases Yohan Cabaye into acres of space down the middle and the Frenchman slips it past John Ruddy.

    James McCarthur almost puts this one to bed, but John Ruddy makes a sharp save to his left. In fact it takes a tiny deflection on its way.

    Norwich 1-2 Crystal Palace

    Chris Sutton
    Former Norwich striker on Final Score

    The decision to disallow Cameron Jerome's effort for Norwich for a high boot does not go down well with the striker's union.....  

    Quote Message

    "That's the worst decision you will see all season - on the opening day. If Palace had scored it I would have been saying the same. It was a wonderful finish. Was it the referee or the assistant? It's ridiculous. All he did was hook it over his shoulder."

    Glenn Murray heading off for Palace, with Connor Wickham on. The former Ipswich youngster gets a round of boos from the home crowd.

    Attacking change from Norwich, with Graham Dorrans off and Gary Hooper on.

  13. Norwich City 1-2 Crystal Palacepublished at 77 mins

    Palace are backs to the wall. Scott Dann clears Steven Whittaker's volley off the line as Norwich look for the equaliser.

    Palace look very happy to defend this lead now, and maybe snatch something on the counter. Yannick Bolasie almost creates something with a one-two with Jason Puncheon, but Norwich deal with it.

    Hmmm. This is controversial. Norwich think they're level. The referee has other ideas.

    Robbie Brady's free-kick is turned in by a hooked, overhead-kick style finish from Cameron Jerome. But Simon Hooper says it was a dangerous high boot, with Joel Ward trying to make a defensive header.

    Norwich are furious.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 72 mins

    Two substitutions for Palace. Goalscorer Wilfried Zaha is replaced by Yannick Bolasie. And Jordon Mutch goes off for Mile Jedinak.

    How on earth has this gone in?

    Nathan Redmond looks harmless when he collects the ball about 25 yards out. The Norwich winger hits a daisy cutter which seems innocuous, but it creeps into Alex McCarthy's right-hand post.

    Canaries back in it.

    Chris Sutton
    Ex-Norwich striker on Final Score

    "Norwich have learned a lesson today. They missed two big chances, especially one for Lewis Grabban, before Palace scored. Last time they were in the Premier League they didn't score enough goals and that would be a worry again this season."

    Wilfried Zaha gets caught by Bradley Johnson, who then steps over the Palace winger. Zaha goes to react, but Damien Delaney is straight over to tell the youngster to settle down. Excellent leadership by Delaney there.

    No sign of movement on the Palace bench yet, but they've got some genuine quality sat there. Connor Wickham, Mile Jedinak, Yannick Bolasie, Patrick Bamford... not bad really.

  20. Norwich City 0-2 Crystal Palacepublished at 65 mins

    Speaking of Damien Delaney, he gets caught right on the toe by Norwich's Cameron Jerome while trying to clear the ball. The Irishman looks alright though.
