It was a nicely poised match at the Hawthorns as the contest between West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City in the Championship ended in a draw. The Baggies took the lead via Dwight Gayle’s strike in the 12th minute as the Englishman continued with his goalscoring form this season. However, his effort was cancelled out towards the end of the match as Jordan Rhodes made sure that the Canaries left the field with at least one point in their bag.
Here is how the Norwich City players were rated from their win against West Brom.
Tim Krul: 7
Had a good match in goal for the Canaries. Could not do much to stop Gayle’s strike. Picked up an unnecessary yellow card in the dying moments of the game.

Ben Godfrey: 6
Lacked composure in the first half but did well to keep his side out of harm’s way in the second.
Jamaal Lewis: 6
Tried his best to get the ball up the pitch as much as possible but was bogged down by Mason Holgate on most occasions.
