A cross from Gonzalo Jara Reyes found Jerome Thomas at the far post, but from half a dozen yards, Thomas was denied by a wonder stop from the young keeper. Playing in much the same way as they had in the league game two weeks precious, City did their bit to hit Albion on the break. Grant Holt ploughed a lone furrow down the middle and was restricted to one half chance at the far post, from Wes Hoolahan's cross. As the temperature began to drop, so West Brom turned up the heat with Fortune heading over from a 33rd minute corner from Dorrans. However, two minutes later, it was Norwich who took the lead through the irrepressible Holt. Elliott Bennett teased a cross to the far post and with Albion short on numbers, Holt swept home his ninth goal of the season. A period of relative calm preceded half time, but in a frantic opening to the second half, Fortune equalised after Thomas pinched the ball from under the nose of Russell Martin. Thereafter, it was a case of Norwich holding on and Albion doing their level best to avoid a replay. Then, with six minutes left, substitute Jackson dispossessed Craig Dawson and duly fired past Foster.
