    Norwich 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Cameron Jerome is almost in on goal, one-on-one, but he is flagged for offside by the linesman.

    However, replays show he is clearly ONside, by about half a yard. Harsh.

    Jack Payne grabbed a late winner for Huddersfield to maintain Newcastle's losing start to the season.

    Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "Now we know we can also win a game without ball possession. The hard work was unbelievable.

    "I'm proud of my boys. We showed an outstanding fighting attitude, we were brave and stuck to our plan of a deeper block. In the first half we were very good. You need luck to win at Newcastle away and we had our luck in the second half."

  3. CLOSE!published at 17:57 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Norwich 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Norwich go closest to finding the opening goal, as Wednesday's Sam Hutchinson almost diverts a cross into his own net, but the ball skims just over the crossbar.

    Norwich's Timm Klose is in the right place at the right time to head clear as Sheffield Wednesday had the ball in their opponent's six-yard box.

    The Canaries clear the resulting corner away, before a deep cross from Banny Bannan back into the area almost finds Kieran Lee, but he can't quite reach it. The Owls are enjoying a good spell.

    Daniel Pudil goes for goal from range but the Sheffield Wednesday man's strike is off target, high and wide of the woodwork.

    Norwich 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Norwich come forward again and win another corner but there are some appeals for a penalty as Robbie Brady goes down in the box under Sam Hutchinson's challenge.

    That could easily be a penalty for the hosts but there aren't many appeals. Hutchinson didn't get the ball.

    Oh, and look who's in attendance at Carrow Road...

    (Ed Balls).

    Norwich 0-0 Sheff Wed

    A couple of dangerous, bouncing crosses from wide on Norwich's left flank are well defended by the visitors. The Canaries then force two consecutive corners, but they come to nothing.

    Sheffield Wednesday are showing good energy in these early stages, although they're yet to create an opening.

    Michael Morrison scored a second-half winner for Birmingham City as they beat Leeds at Elland Road for the second season running to leave Garry Monk's side pointless.

    Leeds United head coach Garry Monk: "We were excellent in the first half but our softness cost us in the second.

    "We gave two soft goals away and gave ourselves an uphill battle again. It's very frustrating. We'll be in at Thorp Arch tomorrow preparing for Tuesday night and trying to put it right."

    The hosts have started brightly but good defending from Tom Lees denies Cameron Jerome a shot on goal.

    Speaking of the Robins, Tammy Abraham scored a 95th-minute winner to give Bristol City their second win in a row, after Tom Naylor had cancelled out Abraham's earlier strike in the closing stages.

    Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson: "I was frustrated we lost the lead when we maybe didn't deserve to do so.

    "I always felt we'd get one more chance. Jimmy (Jonathan Kodjia) rolled his man and Tammy made sure from close range. There were a lot of good performances out there and we showed good character to come away with a win."
