12:02 PM

A draw would be a huge setback for the Toffees in their fight to be up near the top. Palace would be level on points and gd with Sunderland.

12:04 PM

2:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That goal moves Norwich out of the drop zone and up to 15th place. Stoke now in the drop zone.

2:04 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!!!LEROY FER SEALS THE VICTORY FOR NORWICH WITH A GOAL IN STOPPAGE TIME. A GREAT FINSIH AS FER GOT THE BALL FROM A CLEARANCE FROM COLLINS OFF THE GOAL KICK AND FER WENT PAST THOMKINS BEFORE SCORING WITH A GREAT FINSH.

2:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That's it as Norwich defeat the Hammers 3-1. Yellows will be delighted , but John will be disappointed. That's it for me over and out.
