Norwich City 2-2 Newcastle United: Championship leaders earn point through Jamaal Lacelles strike after Karl Darlow howler

Newcastle United's lead at the top of the Championship remains intact after they earned a late point at Carrow Road despite a Karl Darlow shocker.

The Magpies were in front inside 30 seconds thanks to Ayoze Perez, but they were pegged back soon after when Cameron Jerome set up Jacob Murphy's equaliser, before on 17 minutes Darlow attempted to volley away a long ball, but missed entirely, allowing Jerome in.

Both Aleksandar Mitrovic and Matt Ritchie hit the post and bar respectively, but it wasn't until the last ten minutes that captain Jamaal Lascelles volleyed past John Ruddy from a tight angle.
