Bradley Johnson heads the opening goal for Norwich against Stoke City (Getty)
Jonathan Walters scored a penalty but was then shown a straight red card as Stoke held Norwich to a 1-1 draw.
Stoke started the brighter and Peter Crouch should have given them an early lead when he was sent clean through, but could only scuff his shot straight at John Ruddy.
Norwich finally struck through Bradley Johnson, whose header from Robert Snodgrass’s corner beat Asmir Begovic.
Norwich couldn’t hold on to their lead as Sebastian Bassong conceded a penalty for a foul on substitute John Guidetti, with Walters finding the roof of the net with the penalty.
But the Irishman’s afternoon took a turn for a worse when he was dismissed for a high challenge on Alexander Tettey, who was forced off injured as a result.
