    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Close again from the hosts!

    Norwich win it back 30 yards from goal and Mario Vrancic sends a low shot across goal and just past the post.

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Great low save from Cardiff keeper Alex Smithies!

    Cardiff give the ball away on the halfway line and Teem Pukki is on goal, he squares it for Emi Buendia and his low shot is tipped around the post by Smithies.

    The corner comes to nothing.

  4. Postpublished at 60 mins

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Will Vaulks hurls another long throw into the Norwich area, this time from by the corner flag.

    Norwich keeper Michael McGovern punches this one away and the hosts break.

    The ball ends up being teed up for Mario Vrancic 15 yards out but he cuts across his shot and it's wide.

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 57 mins

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    And now a second yellow, Cardiff midfielder Sheyi Ojo dangles a leg and trips Emi Buendia on the halfway line.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 55 mins

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Quick bit of housekeeping, we've had our first booking of the day as Cardiff defender Curtis Nelson is shown a yellow for a foul on Teemu Pukki a few minutes ago.

  7. Positive test in Rotherham squadpublished at 13:45 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Rotherham P-P Derby

    Here's Rotherham's statement regarding this afternoon's postponement...

    "Rotherham United can confirm that this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship fixture against Derby County has been postponed following a positive test of Covid-19 for a member of Paul Warne’s squad, with further players within the first team bubble showing symptoms of the virus at present.

    "Following conversations with the EFL and the subsequent medical advice provided by them and that of our own club doctors, the club have taken the decision to request a postponement to the fixture which has been approved by the EFL."

    Nice open feel to this half.

    Think we'll have more goals in this one...

  9. Postpublished at 50 mins

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Second time this match that goalscorer Emi Buendia has given away a very cheap free-kick.

    Again the ball finds Cardiff skipper Sean Morrison but he can't direct it and Michael McGovern easily collects in the Norwich goal.

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    This is not Teemu Pukki's day.

    Todd Cantwell plays a sumptuous ball to the Norwich striker and he's in on goal but his first touch is Sunday league-like and Alex Smithies is off his line to grab it.

  12. Postpublished at 47 mins

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Massive let off for Cardiff in the opening moments of the half!

    Bluebirds midfielder Marlon Pack plays Teemu Pukki in on goal but the Finn goes for the chip and puts it wide.

    He knows he should have done better there while Pack will be delighted he didn't!

  13. KICK-OFFpublished at 13:35 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:19 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    So far, so good for the league leaders.

    They deservedly lead through Emi Buendia's 20-yard effort.

    Cardiff have threatened from set pieces, with Canaries goalkeeper Michael McGovern forced into a brilliant save from Bluebirds skipper Sean Morrison's header.

    If the hosts can hold out they'll be spending Christmas top of the Championship.

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Norwich nearly grab a second just before the break.

    Todd Cantwell is in acres of space on the edge of the area and he probably should do better with his shot.

  19. Postpublished at 45 mins

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Another Cardiff corner causes more consternation in the Norwich backline.

    The ball eventually breaks for Harry Wilson on the edge of the area and he tries his luck but he doesn't connect well and the chance if gone.

  20. Postpublished at 43 mins

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    What a save from Norwich goalkeeper Michael McGovern!

    Harry Wilson curls in a superb cross to the back post and Sean Morrison powers it towards goal but the Northern Irishman pulls off a wonderful stop.

    Not sure how but Emi Buendia had been left marking the giant centre-half there...
