Fulham 1-1 Norwich: Late Nelson Oliveira strike earns point for Canaries after Russell Martin own goal

Substitute Nelson Oliveira equalised two minutes from time to salvage a 1-1 draw for Norwich at Fulham in their Sky Bet Championship opener at Craven Cottage.

Russell Martin's own goal had put the hosts ahead on 25 minutes, and the cruel deflection from Floyd Ayite's cross looked set to secure victory for last season's beaten play-off semi-finalists.

But Oliveira beat the offside trap to earn the Canaries a point in new manager Daniel Farke's first game in charge.

Farke named seven debutants in his starting XI while Fulham kept largely the same side that featured during their promising 2016-17 campaign, only Oliver Norwood making his first start.
