    Newcastle 3-2 Norwich

    A free-kick for Norwich in a very dangerous position on the left outside the penalty area after Daryl Janmaat clumsily shoves Martin Olsson over.

    Nathan Redmond whips it in with his right foot, goes for glory, but the ball sails over.

    How long before Norwich bring on midfielder Wes Hoolahan. Five assists for him already this season.

    The Canaries are well on top though...

    There wasn't too much tracking back from these two in the first half. Attack, attack, attack.

    Norwich on the attack at the start of the half. First a cross just evades Dieumerci Mbokani before Steven Whittaker has a cross from the left cleared.

    Newcastle break though and force a corner. Jack Colback's delivery plops into John Ruddy's hands.

    Newcastle 3-2 Norwich

    A change for Newcastle as midfielder Vurnon Anita replaces Cheik Tiote in the centre of the park. An injury perhaps? Although Tiote was on a yellow.

    We are under way.

    Here come the teams.

    Don't forget - as if Newcastle fans could - the Magpies haven't won yet this season and are bottom of the league.

    They need this, desperately...

    Take a bow Robbie Brady. The Norwich City midfielder has covered more distance than any other player - 5.92 km.

    Georginio Wijnaldum. Two touches inside the penalty area, two goals, as shown by his touch map below.

    £14.5m spent well for the former PSV Eindhoven man?

    Where is Philippe Albert when you need him eh?

  16. Goals galorepublished at 16:52

    Newcastle 3-2 Norwich

    That is the first time Newcastle have scored three first-half goals since March 2012 vs West Brom.

    I wouldn't rule out them scoring - and conceding - a few more.

    Norwich just are not dealing with crosses into the box. Steve McClaren can be encouraged from the performances of Moussa Sissoko and Georginio Wijnaldum. Norwich have had a lot of joy down their own left

    Newcastle 3-2 Norwich

    Forget about the dreadful defending for a moment, that half was a cracker.

    You get the feeling it could be a very nervy second 45 minutes for Newcastle as they go in search of their first win of the league campaign.

    I didn't think I would be saying this today but I can't wait.

    Newcastle pushing for a fourth. Daryl Janmaat's dangerous cross from the right is half headed clear, the ball drops to Ayoze Perez inside the area, but he is crowded out.

    Into three minutes of injury time.
