Norwich have improved since appointing Dean Smith but maybe not as much as they needed to.

Southampton have been far far superior. Norwich have just been too passive and I expect Dean Smith will have some choice words to say to his team.
Southampton 1-0 Norwich
The half-time whistle goes and Southampton deservedly lead.

Mohamed Elyounoussi should make it 2-0 just before the break. He runs onto a ball into the box and drags it just wide of the far post.

Norwich have defended really well from corners but to do that they have had to flood their own six-yard box and then Southampton have picked up everything on the edge of the box.

A nice one-two between KWP and JWP and Grant Hanley blocks a cross for yet another corner.
Norwich get this corner away.

I had to watch that about three times to see what actually happened there. The key thing is Southampton have the lead they deserve.
The Saints are immediately putting the Norwich defence under pressure again.

That took an eternity to go in the goal. Southampton have been brilliant throughout and controlled the game.
Che Adams
It's been coming as Che Adams bundles in.
Tino Livramento does well on the right wing and crosses it in. Angus Gunn blocks with his feet and the ball hits Max Aarons.
Adams can't make contact with his shot but as he falls to the ground he makes to hook it over Gunn and Aarons at the second attempt.

From James Ward-Prowse's corner Che Adams should score but his header at the back post from close range bounces wide.

What a save that is from Angus Gunn.
Southampton 0-0 Norwich
Norwich aren't very good at defending.
Mohamed Elyounoussi puts in a cross from the right and two defenders leave it go. Tino Livramento cuts it back to James Ward-Prowse, who crosses in. Armando Broja bundles the ball to Elyounoussi, whose volley is at the keeper who made himself big.
Southampton 0-0 Norwich
Che Adams has a shot blocked and it's a sixth corner to Southampton. James Ward-Prowse whips it in but it's headed away. Oriol Romeu then clips a ball into the mixer but it runs to Angus Gunn.

Back to Southampton attacks now. They win another corner and it comes out to Stuart Armstrong, whose shot takes a big deflection and Angus Gunn does well to adjust his body on fall onto the ball.

It took around 25 minutes for Norwich just to have a spell of possession.
They need to try and feed the ball into that Southampton penalty area to make things happen.
