Spurs are looking to take advantage of the reprieve. They are struggling to find any rhythm, though.
-
Oh.
36'
It seems like it is that pesky armpit again that is offside. Is this really what he want?
-
The reaction is understandably vitriolic...
34'
NO GOAL! After a long VAR check, Pukki is adjudged to have been offside. Fans are angry. It looked mightily close.
33'
GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!! Norwich 2-0 Tottenham. Delia is off her feet as Pukki makes it two!
31'
Alderweireld diverts a corner over his own crossbar, but gets away with it, as a goal kick is given.
29'
SHOT! More nice, patient football from Norwich works the ball to Hernandez, who cuts onto his right foot, but flashes his effort well wide.
-
The creator.
27'
Norwich keeping the ball really well at the moment. Where has this team been all season?!?

Serge Aurier tries to whip a cross into the middle, but that is too close to Krul.
23'
What can Spurs do here? They were looking good prior to that opener. There are certainly more goals in this.
-
Pick that one out!
21'
Bad challenge from Vrancic earns him the game's first yellow card.
19'
Woeful defending from Spurs. Juan Foyth gives the ball away, Vrancic carries the ball forward, has men either side, but uses them as a decoy, utilising the space afforded to him to pick his spot, slotting the ball into the net. Good finish, poor defending.
18'
GOOOOOAAALLLLL!!!! Norwich 1-0 Tottenham. A goal had been coming but it is Norwich with it, Mario Vrancic with his first Premier League goal.
16'
SAVE! Superb long pass from Toby Alderweireld sails over the heads of the Norwich backline, Kane is in, controls, but his quick shot is blocked by Tim Krul. Chances keep coming and coming.
14'
Very open game now. Both teams committing plenty of bodies forward in attack.
12'
MISS! What a chance for Dele Alli. Brilliant setup play from Harry Kane, laying the ball across into the path of Alli, 12 yards out, but the England midfielder blazes over. The form he is in, he at least had to hit the target from there.
10'
SAVE! Spurs make a real mess of trying to pass the ball around at the back, Marco Stiepermann carries the ball into the box, space opens up, he toe pokes for goal, but Gazzaniga gets down to make a smart stop. Should really have scored from that position.
