    Watford players are not happy with Norwich substitute Gabriel Sara. They think the Brazilian has deliberately stood on Yaser Asprilla.

    The referee is not interested, though.

    Brazil against Colombia - the dark arts are never too far from proceedings in South American confrontations!

    Close to an equaliser for the visitors on two occasions!

    First, Teemu Pukki sends in a terrific low ball for Kenny McLean to run on to, and his effort is deflected into the side netting.

    Then from the corner, Grant Hanley's shot cannons off the bar from five yards. Unlucky!

    A good spell for Norwich here.

    Josh Sargent has the ball in the net but the flag is up for offside for a through pass to Teemu Pukki.
