City held to draw by Blackburn Ro

Norwich City were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon in the Sky Bet Championship.

In a closely-fought encounter, City took the lead on 53 minutes when Kenny McLean diverted from close-range after a neat one-two with Dowell.

Blackburn managed to take a point from the match when substitute Sam Gallagher nodded home from a free-kick.

The game was slightly marred by injuries sustained to Dimitris Giannoulis (head) and Ben Gibson (ankle).

Daniel Farke made just one change to his starting eleven from Wednesday’s victory over Nottingham Forest with Emi Buendia returning to replace the injured Lukas Rupp.
