    Daniel Potter: Great first half, but Cameron Dawson should have been sent off. Yellow proves the referee knew and had no doubt it was handball, which changes the entire game as a outfield player goes in goal and Wednesday unlikely to be as adventurous going forward.

    Kyle: It’s a pulsating game which will only get better both sides need the win. If Wednesday don’t win they have no chance of the play-offs. Any dropped points for Norwich will give Sheffield United and Leeds real hope of still over taking them.

    HT: Norwich 1-1 Sheff Wed

    This, ladies and gentlemen, was how Marco Stiepermann celebrated his opener for Norwich. Nope, I haven't got a clue either.

    HT: Norwich 1-1 Sheff Wed

    So here's a quick snapshot of the first 45...

    Marco Stiepermann gave the Canaries the lead with a crisp, low strike from just outside the box.

    But Fernando Forestieri made it 1-1 with an absolute stunner from 30 yards into the top corner.

    More of the same after the break please gents!

    They go in all square at the break.

    What a chance for Norwich to go ahead!

    Onel Hernandez puts Max Aarons through with a clever backheel but the teenager can't get a clean strike away from just a few yards out and Cameron Dawson saves with his feet.

    There will be three minutes of added time at the end of the first half. Plenty of time for either side to go into the break ahead...

    Norwich 1-1 Sheff Wed

    Norwich are back on the front foot as this first half draws to a close as they win a couple of corners. But both are dealt with by the Sheffield Wednesday defence.

    I could do with a half-time cuppa. It's been frantic.

    This fella enjoyed Fernando's leveller. In fairness the 'Tango Man' is suitably dressed for this balmy weather.

    There was a stunned silence among the home fans Carrow Road when that Fernando Forestieri equaliser went in.

    It could not have been any further in the top corner. It could not have been hit any harder. A thing of wonder.

    Meanwhile the injured Sam Hutchinson has gone off for the Owls - Joey Pelupessy comes on.

    GOAL OF THE SEASON. It has to be!

    Fernando Forestieri collects the ball 30 yards from goal and absolutely thumps one into the top corner.

    It whizzed past Tim Krul - he had no chance. You can not hit a ball any sweeter than that.

    Sam Hutchinson looks like he is struggling for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Joey Pelupessy is warming up on the touchline, but they'll give Hutchinson another minute or so I think...

    Norwich 1-0 Sheff Wed

    Norwich's passing is crisp, clean and accurate. When an opponent player has the ball, they swarm around him like flies.

    It's mightily impressive stuff from the Canaries. You could say it's Premier League quality.

    So you might smile Daniel. Norwich have been far and away the best team in the Championship this season and they're in front here.

    It really was a lovely, crisp left-footed strike from Marco Stiepermann which has given the Canaries the lead. His ninth goal of the season.

    It's all Norwich now. Max Aarons pulls the ball back to Teemu Pukki in the box, but the Finland striker is surrounded by blue and white shirts and can't get a clean shot away.

    There's the goal that this game deserves and it's Norwich who have it!

    Onel Hernandez works the ball to Marco Stiepermann about 20 yards from goal and the German fires low into the net.

    It wasn't quite in the corner, but it had enough power to get past Cameron Dawson. That might be one and a half feet in the Premier League now.

    What a chance for Norwich! But what a save by Cameron Dawson!

    Onel Hernandez is clean through and his low, powerful strike is kept out by the replacement goalkeeper with his legs.

    George Boyd has the ball in the back of the net for the visitors after latching onto Dom Iorfa's through ball but he's rightly ruled offside.

    Sheffield Wednesday are really pushing for the opener here.

    This is a really bright start from the Owls.

    Liam Palmer whips in a cross from the left, Steven Fletcher meets it with his head but can't keep it down.
