    It's the Wes Hoolahan show, he's been at the heart of everything for Norwich. On this occasion however as the ball breaks to him outside the box, Steve Cook does enough to deny the attacking midfielder.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 57 mins

    Bournemouth make a double change in their attacking ranks as Glenn Murray comes on for a debut, and Yann Kermorgant is also introduced. Joshua King and Junior Stanislas are the men to make way.

    It's all Norwich now. Andre Wisdom puts in a cross from the right-hand side and Cameron Jerome's close-range effort is scrambled wide. Almost 3-0.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 54 mins

    Simon Francis on the brink here, the Bournemouth right-back was booked in the first half and brings down winger Matt Jarvis. I think he'd have been shown a yellow card for that normally.

    GOAL - Norwich 2-0 Bournemouthpublished at 52 mins

    Wes Hoolahan

    Wes Hoolahan didn't need Cameron Jerome that time! The Irish wizard gets the ball 40 yards out and runs towards goal. He has a couple of options in the box - including Jerome - but this time he fancies having a go himself and fires home from 20 yards out.

    Canaries in control.

    Wes Hoolahan comes forward and lays the ball off to Cameron Jerome but the Norwich striker's shot from just outside the box is wide.

    Those two have linked up brilliantly today - there's been three or four chances including the goal.

    Bournemouth have the first shot of the second half as Simon Francis finds Junior Stanislas but the 25-year-old gets his shot wrong from 16 yards out and it's well wide.

    Both sets of players are back out on the pitch, doesn't look like either side are making a change at half-time.

    Matt, London:  Crazy to think Wes Hoolahan is now pulling the strings against teams in the Premier League. I remember him playing in a struggling Blackpool side not too long ago.

    I once saw Hoolahan named man of the man in a Champions League qualifier back in 2004 for Shelbourne v Deportivo La Coruna. It's a major shame for him that his career seemed so slow to really get going at the top level. He's 33 now!

    The only shot on target in the whole half was the goal. Norwich have edged the stats so far.

    Norwich 1-0 Bournemouth

    There is no graphic to show when a player has his shinpad in his hand like Wes Hoolahan did when he set up Norwich's goal but here is how the Canaries worked the ball from the back before Hoolahan beat Cherries defender Steve Cook and crossed for Cameron Jerome to break the deadlock.

    I think Norwich just about edged that half with Wes Hoolahan creating a couple of chances for Cameron Jerome. When he created that moment of brilliance for the goal - he had three or four options and he picked the right one, that's what makes him a top-class player.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 45+2 mins

    Bournemouth defender Steve Cook heads the ball onto Callum Wilson, who hits the post from close range under extreme pressure from Cameron Jerome. It looks like keeper John Ruddy might have actually touched that onto the woodwork, crucial save.

  16. INJURY TIMEpublished at 45+1 mins

    Two minutes added on, mostly for Alexander Tettey's early injury.

    Eunan O'Kane finds Andrew Surman down the left-hand side for Bournemouth but his cross is nowhere near Callum Wilson and keeper John Ruddy holds onto it.

    Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe will be happy to see the break as Norwich are attacking again. The Canaries have been the better side so far.

    Callum Wilson comes forward for Bournemouth, he nutmegs Sebastien Bassong but can't get into a shooting position - he attempts to find a team-mate but his pass is poor and the momentum of the move is gone.
