    Teemu Pukki's cross is just over Josh Sargent. The Canaries are putting some late pressure on. It would be remarkable if they found an equaliser.

    Southampton 1-0 Norwich

    Norwich's best spell of the game by some way. Teemu Pukki has a shot blocked and the Canaries win a corner.

    The corner comes across to Pierre Lees-Melou on the other side and his cross is headed wide by Grant Hanley.

    Ah one of these offside things.

    Southampton counter quickly from a corner and Armando Broja is offside as he runs onto a through ball. He's denied by good Brandon Williams defending and can't get a shot away from the rebound. Then the flag goes up.
