    Norwich are by no means out of this. And just to prove the point Nathan Redmond cuts inside before unleashing a shot which flies high over Tim Howard's bar.

  8. CLOSE!published at 32 mins

    Everton 1-0 Norwich

    A great chance for Everton made in Belgium.

    Romelu Lukaku feeds Kevin Mirallas with a delicious threaded pass which leaves him clean through on goal but he can't find the target and instead hits the side netting.

    Everton 1-0 Norwich

    That was an exceptional finish by Jame McCarthy and Everton's fans showed their appreciation with a standing ovation for the former Wigan midfielder.

    Smiles in the home dugout at Goodison. There haven't been many of those this season.

    Late, late goal of the season contender James McCarthy.

    A tremendous run by young midfielder Kieran Dowell ends in McCarthy lashing home from 20 yards.

    John Ruddy is left grasping at thin air as the ball whistles past him and gives Everton a deserved lead.

    Encouraging signs from young Everton defender Tom Davies. 

    Bright and creative, he wins his side a free-kick just outside the Norwich area after being caught by Gary O'Neil.

    Everton 0-0 Norwich

    Romelu Lukaku is determined to end the season with a goal.

    The powerful Belgian forward is thwarted by a fine double save by John Ruddy after creating space for himself.

    Good to see both teams going for this. This is unlikely to end goalless.

    Bright start by the hosts, who are playing a 4-3-3 formation. 

    Lots of handshakes and pats on the back for Steven Naismith in the tunnel before kick-off. The Norwich players has yet to see much action as Everton probe the Canaries defence.

    Early chance for the Toffees as Romelu Lukaku gets behind the Norwich defence and tests John Ruddy. Just the start Joe Royle and David Unsworth demanded.
