Little over a year ago Paul Lambert left Norwich City in slightly acrimonious circumstances. He has twice returned to Carrow Road with his new set of troops at Aston Villa, winning on both occasions. Can he make it three on the bounce or will Chris Hughton’s men finally get one over on their former boss? Welcome to LIVE coverage of Norwich City vs. Aston Villa.

- Highlights
90+5'
Boos sound out from the stands at Carrow Road as the final whistle sounds. Chris Hughton refuses to move, clearly unhappy. Great win for Villa who gain their second win of the season and keep their first clean sheet in 27 Premier League matches.
90+4'
Bacuna clears from inside his own area... Norwich have less than 60 seconds to find a leveller.
90+3'
Norwich aren't happy as he gives Villa a free-kick. Looked pretty blatant though as Turner backed into Guzan.
90+2'
Norwich pumping it long into the box but it just won't drop for a yellow shirt.
90'
How much added time? Five minutes...
89'
The ball is whipped in from the left, it hits Hooper on the foot. Surely it's going in? No! What a save by Guzan who leaps high to his left to tip it over.
88'
Weimann prods in a cross from the left but Helenius can't control and it rolls out for a goalkick to Norwich.
87'
The game is slipping away from Norwich. Villa have defended superbly in this second half.
86'
It looks like Snodgrass is in behind again but the flag goes up for offside.
85'
Nasty challenge from Turner on Luna and Foy produces the first yellow card of the game... Having said that, Luna does three forward rolls - all whilst maintaining eye contact with the referee. Play-acting at its finest.
84'
How have Norwich not scored?? They must have four chances to shoot, but they can't get the ball down and continue to play short passes in the area. Finally van Wolfswinkel shoots. It's deflected. Another corner won.
83'
Tonev is replaced by Yacouba Sylla...
82'
Pretty dreadful from Norwich. No one puts pressure on Guzan and it's the easiest of catches for the stopper.
81'
Norwich's tactics: Get the ball down the right flank. It nearly works as Snodgrass sends in yet another cross, but Villa clear for a corner.
80'
The ball is switched towards Garrido but it's overhit and Villa have a throw.
79'
Chris Hughton trying to gee his players up from the sidelines... It's just not happened for them in this second half.
78'
Great link-up between Kozak and Delph. The former's shot deflects wide.
77'
Villa just 15 minutes away from their first clean sheet in 27 Premier League games...
76'
It's a well worked routine as Snodgrass rolls the ball across the area to van Wolfswinkel who had dropped deep. But the striker fluffs his effort completely.
75'
Norwich win a free-kick right on the edge of the area.
