Everton and Norwich City shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw, in a Premier League match at the Carrow Road on Saturday.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-c18993 Howson and Grant Holt cancelled out the visitors lead, twice in the evening.
Both the sides resorted to attacking play right from the start of the match, and the Canaries looked the more threatening of the two.
However, it was Everton who got the opener in the 22nd minute through their Croatian striker Jelavic. The Toffees went ahead, after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jagielka-c29902 from a free kick. The Englishman played a cross from the left, which
found Jelavic inside the area, who slotted the ball home for the visitors from inside the six yard box.
Norwich responded in a positive manner as they pushed forward in search for the equalizer. The home side did not have to wait long to find one, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-c36794 Hoolahan made a probing run from the right flank, and delivered the ball inside the Everton box. The
cross was nudged in for an easy finish by Howson, who levelled things up for the hosts.
Both the teams went into the dressing room with the score tied at 1-1 at halftime.
Norwich came close to claiming the lead through Hold just after the interval, but his effort was kept at bay by the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Howard-c35095. Howson then took a ferocious shot from outside the area, only to be denied by the Toffees shot stopper, who
tipped the ball away from danger.
However, the visitors released the pressure built up by Norwich in the 61st minute. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Pienaar-c34208 made the most out of a poor refereeing decision, after the referee waved play on, despite the cries of the foul made by the Norwich players. The
South African footballer carried on with the game and played a cross to Jelavic, who scored the Toffees second by dispatching the ball in the bottom right corner of the goal.
Nevertheless, the hosts put the poor decision from Andre Marriner behind them, and were rewarded in the 76th minute. Aaron Wilbraham’s powerful shot was deflected by Howard, but fell back into the path of the Norwich player. He played a cross
to Holt, who tucked in from inside the six yards box to equalize for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723.
With the momentum shifting in favour of the home side, Norwich swept forward in search for the winner. However, the Everton defence stood firm and weathered a late onslaught from the home side to claim a point from the match.
The draw kept Everton in the seventh spot in the league table and bolstered Norwich’s chances of finishing the season in the middle of the Premier League table.
