I'm afraid to say that's your final EFL action of the weekend on the BBC Sport website and app.

The good news, however, is that there is a full programme of midweek fixtures for your enjoyment, so you only have to wait until Tuesday night for your fix of Championship action, with games involving teams at the top and bottom, it's another installment of perhaps the best recurring drama series in football.

Thank you for your company this afternoon. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

After three straight defeats, the most recent of them a 5-1 home humbling at the hands of the manager they'd previously sacked, Sunderland are back into the top 10, only three points and three places behind today's hosts.

What a climax to the play-off chase this is set to be.

Abdoullah Ba's first Sunderland goal is enough to win it. Sunderland survive to claim a huge three points. Norwich miss out on a return to the top-five.

Just when you think you know what this division has in store, there's another surprise lurking around the corner.

A break in play for treatment to Gabriel Sara after a thunderous aerial challenge by Luke O'Nien who can't stay out of the limelight in these closing stages. No foul though.

Pierre Ekwah has his name taken after a cynical lunge on Gabriel Sara to halt a City attack. The Norwich players are incensed as they wanted to play advantage but Tim Robinson tells them who's boss.

Six added minutes for Sunderland to navigate...

Sunderland's Luke O'Nien is making friends. A slight touch on Jacob Sorensen as they hare towards the byline sends him into the hoarding and leads to a confrontation. O'Nien puckers up to try and diffuse the situation but that only frustrates the home players more. No further card waving, this time...

Lynden Gooch becomes the fourth visiting player to be cautioned after crunching into Ben Gibson after the ball had gone. Gibson was not impressed, and neither was Tim Robinson. Card count now stands at six.

The hosts are dominating posession, as you might expect, but they have not opened up the Sunderland defence at all in the second half.

You feel it's going to take a moment of inspiration or a mistake for City to get back on terms.

Isaac Lihadji is on for Joe Gelhardt for Sunderland. His pace could be useful on the break in the closing stages, presuming Norwich pile on the pressure

Marcelino Nunez is the latest to be hauled off by Norwich with Christos Tzolis, fresh from undertaking national service in Greece this week, coming on for the final 20 minutes.

Danny Batth goes into the book after a lunge on Josh Sargent. He claims he got the ball, and the replays seem to back him up. Tim Robinson is having none of it, though. He's going to have a sore shoulder in the morning from all this brandishing.

Edouard Michut and goalscorer Abdoullah Ba are withdrawn by Tony Mowbray with Lynden Gooch and Pierre Ekwah the fresh legs coming on for Sunderland.

Trai Hume goes into the book for Sunderland after he catches Dimitrios Giannoulis late.

Dan Neil had been cautioned moments earlier after a foul on Marquinhos.

Busy afternoon for ref Tim Robinson.

Teemu Pukki hooks a volley from a left-wing cross from Dimitrios Giannoulis goalwards but Anthony Patterson holds at his near post.

The Finn has only scored three goals at Carrow Road this season. How he'd love a fourth in the next half-hour.

Jack Clarke goes closer this time, his fierce strike from the edge of the area after the corner flashes through a crowd and comes back off Angus Gunn.

With the goal at his mercy Joe Gelhardt is unable to control the rebound and it loops into the grateful arms of the keeper.

Abdoullah Ba wins possession and Jack Clarke is found by Joe Gelhardt in space on the left, this time he angles to curl into the far corner but Grant Hanley is able to deflect behind.

Double change for the hosts.

Onel Hernandez is withdrawn, replaced by Arsenal loanee Marquinhos. Max Aarons is also off, Jacon Sorensen coming on.

Sunderland are enraged after a free-kick was awarded for a foul on Onel Hernandez. Gabriel Sara whips it in but Grant Hanley's tame header is straight at Anthony Patterson.

Marcelino Nunez is booked for a clumsy foul on all-action Patrick Roberts, who is clearly in the mood today.
