    Norwich 1-0 Bournemouth

    This is fantastic to watch. Norwich are showboating at times. Make no mistake, Bournemouth aren't playing too badly despite going a goal down early on.

    Jonathan Woodgate's side are in fine form coming into this one, having won five on the bounce.

    But Norwich are putting on a masterclass, creating a succession of chances and camping themselves in the opposition half.

    Norwich 1-0 Bournemouth.

    As it stands, Norwich have 93 points and are currently 11 points off second-placed Watford with four games to go after tonight.

    No surprise that the title is within their grasp and if they carry on as they have done in these first few minutes against Bournemouth, they'll be champions sooner rather than later.

    Stunning.

    Norwich are coasting in these early stages and it all comes thanks to some absolutely sensational work from Teemu Pukki.

    The Canaries striker picks up the ball inside the Bournemouth box and, under pressure from two defenders, calmly slots a ball through the pair of them to Emi Buendia who swiftly turns it home.

    That is a wonderful goal.

    Norwich 0-0 Bournemouth

    A fast-flowing succession of passes in midfield from Norwich sees Teemu Pukki flagged for offside.

    The hosts have started this one comfortably and that's summed up by Emi Buendia volleying just wide of the left-hand post from outside the box.

  11. Norwich promoted to Premier Leaguepublished at 19:45 British Summer Time 17 April 2021

    Norwich v Bournemouth (20:00 BST)

    Job done for Norwich City who have already been promoted to the Premier League today without kicking a ball.

    The Canaries return to the top flight at the first attempt prior to playing Bournemouth this evening courtesy of Brentford and Swansea's failure to win earlier today.

    Still, the show must go on and there's still the Championship title up for grabs, and Daniel Farke's side can take a big step towards that tonight.

    Kick-off is coming soon.
