RECORD-BREAKERS
FULL-TIME
Plenty to be proud of for Norwich as they manage to limit Burnley to just the one goal despite defending for 45 minutes with nine men.
And that goal was an own goal afterall.
But Norwich's Premier League campaign at Carrow Road ends on a low...nine consecutive defeats.
Burnley leapfrog Arsenal into ninth.
GREAT SAVE!
Krul makes yet another greta save as Bardsley lines up yet another go from distance. Proper palm stinger.
Norwich can thank Krul for keeping this scoreline dignified.
FOUR MINUTES ADDED ON
Idah on
Farke gives his man some minutes with little left to play for.

CHANCE!
Norwich have a go! Pope pulls off a brilliant save as a long ball over the top finds Hernandez.
The best goalies stay switched on and Pope was ready for that.
GOAL! (Godfrey)
Own goal!
Gut-wrenching.
After all that's gone wrong for Norwich, Godfrey - unchallenged - taps a Brownhill cross into his own net.
Own goal
B. Godfrey
Burnley look a little happier to just take the win now. They're still going for another goal but there's not all that much intensity to their play.
Brownhill has another go from distance but yet again they go wide.
Vyrdra on for Burnley, Wood off.

Norwich with nine men behind the ball, which doesn't sound like loads but that's all they have.
Burnley just passing it about midfield looking for a way through, mainly just winning corners.
For all their possession, Burnley are pretty much limited to long shots and hopeful crosses.
They've caused a fair bit of chaos just through lumping the ball in the box but Norwich have managed to clear it pretty comfortably most of the time.
If anything, nine-man Norwich are exposing the deficiencies in Burnley as, despite their numerical advantage, they're still not all that hard to defend against. The Claret's don't really try much on the ground and they can't quite put the Canaries to the sword with their aerial tactics.
WATER BREAK
Nine-man Norwich are half way to only losing 1-0.
Small victories.
GREAT SAVE!
More heroics from Krul.
Rodriguez has a go from close range that delfects of Zimmermann but Krul is wise to it and manages to stick out a leg. Pure chaos.
Norwich need the drinks break.
Krul tips over yet another effort. Corner.
Westwood goes short for Pieters who tees up Bardsley who smacks a long a range effort. Deflected wide - another corner!
Without the virtual crowd noise it's easy to here the Norwich players despair. Cantwell asks 'what can I do?' as Burnley come at his side again.
It's pretty relentless. Perhaps the visitors will lay off when/if they double their lead?
McLean has a free-kick and Bardsley glances it away. Norwich have to make more of set-pieces if they're to rescue anything today.
Norwich with a rare forway into the Burnley half now. Jamaal Lewis still trying his best to make something happen but he's pretty much working on his own.
Oh, and Brady is on for Gudmundsson.

McNeil shoots, Pieters shoots, Wood shoots.
If anything, Burnley players are actually getting in each other's way right now. Some sore shins on the Norwich defence as they throw their legs in the way.
To Norwich's credit, it's still just 1-0...
Friends has had his work cut out for him today but still manages a smile as he gives Norwich a free-kick this time. Farke's side have a rare chance to breathe.
McLean looks exhausted and Burnley come at them again.
McNeil has a go now. Everyone is having a go.
Krul is diving all over the place.
