Norwich City 1-1 Bristol Rovers: Pirates frustrate Canaries to secure FA Cup third-round replay

League One side Bristol Rovers earned a deserved home third-round replay against Norwich City of the Championship, with a 1-1 draw in Saturday's FA Cup tie at Carrow Road.

Although Matt Taylor's side's heroics were the story in East Anglia, the pressure on his opposite number David Wagner also must be considered as this was their fourth game without a win and another less than satisfactory performance for the supporters who made their feelings audible at full-time.

After a tense opening, Ashley Barnes settled a few Norwich nerves when he tucked in after Onel Hernandez had tracked Adam Forshaw's ball forward, shrugged off Tristan Crama and laid it square.
